Irma Juneal Wood, passed away on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024. Irma was born to Clarence and Agnes Johnson on June 19, 1925, near Luck, Wisconsin. She graduated from Milltown High School and met Robert while working as a waitress at a restaurant in Milltown, Wisconsin. Irma and Robert married on March 2, 1947 and farmed on her father’s farm until they purchased their own south of Falun, Wisconsin. Irma worked right alongside Robert for many years. It took incredibly hard work, sweat, tears and sleepless nights to make their farm a success and to raise their family. In addition to doing chores and field work, plus running their home, everyone knew that when you went to Irma and Bob’s to work or to spend time visiting, the coffee would be on and the sandwiches, sweets or even a full meal, would magically appear – you would never leave hungry! Irma was just like that, always thinking of others’ comfort.
Irma was very active in the Homemakers organization for many years. She loved taking her kids fishing when they were young and in later years went to Roger & LuAnn’s house on Grimms Lake to fish off their dock. It was the highlight of her days if the kids joined her! Irma may have been a tough farm wife, but you couldn’t help but see just how much she loved her kids and grandkids!
She was preceded in death by her father, Clarence Johnson; mother, Agnes (Schultz) Johnson; husband, Robert Wood; brothers, Harold Johnson, Robert Johnson and Earl Johnson; and granddaughters, Jennifer Wood and Christine Cran.
Irma is survived by her children, Juneal Cran, Roger (LuAnn) Wood and Robert (Lynda) Wood; grandchildren, Dudley Cran, Donna (Conrad) King, Wylie Wood and Matthew (Mallory) Wood; step-grandchildren, Andrea (Quynh) Rostron and Kevin Defever; great-grandchildren, Justin Cran, Gavin King, Issac King, Collin King, Owen Wood, Austin Rostron and Elaina Rostron; great-great grandchild, Austin King; nieces, nephews, many relatives and friends.
Irma’s wishes were that no formal services be held. The family will gather to celebrate her life at a later date.
Arrangements were entrusted to Swedberg-Taylor Funeral home. Online condolences may be expressed at swedberg-taylor.com.
