Few couples lived life so passionately as Antioch College
graduates Shirley R. Johnson ’40 and her husband Douglas R. Johnson ’40.

Their romance — and commitment to social ideals — lasted more than
seven decades until Douglas Johnson died Friday, July 24, 2009, at the
age of 92.

He hit his head in a fall after a shopping trip, and doctors at
MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland were unable to save him after
he was flown to the trauma center.
One by one, friends Monday mourned the loss of Douglas Johnson —
half of the power couple who lived life simply and spartanly, yet
changed so many lives along the way.
