Donelda was born in Manitou, MB to the late Hugh and Violet Cook. She grew up on the farm and went on to become a teacher. She then met Dr. Jake Johnson in 1956, while she was attending Winnipeg Bible College. They were married and immediately went to India as missionaries, where a ministry was founded which thrives to this day.  She was a loving and supportive partner to her husband to the very end of their various ministries.

Donelda will meet her dear husband who went to glory before her in 2015. She will also meet her brother, Bill and his wife, Elaine, as well as her parents and many friends and family who were waiting for her.
