ANNE JOHNSTON LINDAHL

1929-2017

Anne Johnston Lindahl, or “Nana” as she was affectionately called by her family, passed away peacefully with her loving daughter Stacey by her side on Friday morning, January 20, 2017 at the age of 87. Anne died shortly after an unexpected diagnosis of cancer. Anne will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents, Mary Dannals Johnston and John Johnston, and by the love of her life, Robert Arthur Lindahl, whom she married on September 3, 1955.

Anne was born on December 5, 1929, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she lived until Bob took a job with Conoco and they moved to Mission, Texas. From there they moved to Kilgore, Midland, Bedford and Portland, Texas before settling in Houston in 1970. In the mid- seventies, Bob left Conoco and formed a series of three successful oil and gas exploration companies.

Anne devoted her life to raising her children and supporting her husband throughout his career. Anne found her greatest pleasure in the simple things, like jigsaw and crossword puzzles, playing solitaire and Bingo and socializing with her friends. Her favorite activity was “grabbing a bite” to eat with her family.

Anne is survived by her children, Stacey Anne Lindahl and Eric John Lindahl and wife Judi, grandchildren, Brittany Franco and husband Kirk, Andie Mullins and (Jamie Frederick), Tori Lindahl and (Dusty Mayo), Drew Lindahl, Arleigh Lindahl, Mac Lindahl and great-grandchildren, Aubrie Franco, Preslie Franco and Charlie Mayo.
