Anne A. Verger Johnson

March 15, 1960- November 4, 2024

Anne, a beloved mother, sister and friend passed away on November 4, 2024 at the age of 64.

Anne was born on March 15th in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to parents Joanne and Lawton Verger. In 1969, Joanne and Lawton moved their family to Coos Bay, Oregon where Anne would spend a majority of her life. She graduated from Marshfield High School in 1978.  

Anne's life was filled with love for her family and friends. She loved her life in Coos Bay and always remained extremely proud of her Louisiana roots.

After graduating from High School, Anne worked in radio and for the World Newspaper in advertising. Anne also was extremely proud of the time she spent helping others serving with the Coos County chapter of Hearts and Hands.

Anne not only had a loving heart and compassion for others, but loved animals and especially cats; many of them found a home with her.

Anne, just as her parents Lawton and Joanne, would eventually find her way to Salem and the State Capital. During her time there, Anne worked as a legislative assistant to her mom, Senator Joanne Verger. Anne would eventually leave the capital and finish her professional career with longtime friend Ryan Tribbet and the PAC West Group.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents; brother, John David Verger; and her sister-in-law, Diane Burton Verger.

Survivors include her sons, Aaron Johnson and Logan Reeder; siblings, Jim Verger and Kathy Verger Muscus (Jerry); nephew, James Verger; and nieces, Nyssa Kerbs and Alex Verger.  She also leaves behind many cousins whom she loved dearly.

Anne's life will be celebrated at the Coos Bay Eagles Club in Coos Bay on February 1st at 3 p.m.  We invite all who knew and loved her to honor her memory.

Cremation rites and inurnment has been held at Ocean View Memory Gardens, Coos Bay under the direction of Coos Bay Chapel.
