I just heard that Inge Johnson passed away. She was in her low 90's so this is not a surprise.
She had been at and somehow survived Crystal Night. That must have been horribly traumatic, and yet she was more than willing to tell the story.
She came to magic late in life but delighted in entertaining children both with face painting and simple magic.
I was pleased to take her to visit the Magic Castle, and she had a great time there.
She outlived two of her three children. I did not know her to be sick a day in the last ten years or so that I knew her.
She adopted the name Princess Laugh-a-Lot. The name and her garb suggested a clown, but she wasn't.
What she was was a beautiful soul.

Goodbye Princess, without your light, the world is just a little dimmer.
You will be missed.
Rest in Peace.

Memory eternal +++

Requiescat in pace, Inge!
