Arlene Elizabeth Anne Johnson

Arlene Elizabeth Anne Johnson, known affectionately as “Lena Bean,” departed this life on December 8, 2025, at the tender age of six months. Born on June 6, 2025, Lena was a ray of sunshine, brightening the lives of all who were privileged to know her.

In her brief time on this Earth, Lena captured the hearts of her beloved family. She was cherished by her devoted parents, Katelynne Johnson and Trey Neitge-Smoczyk. Lena Bean shared a unique bond with her twin brother, Kade, their lives intertwined from the very beginning. She was embraced by the love of her big brothers, Teddy and Marcel.

Lena Bean’s innocent charm brought delight to her grandparents, Angela and Robert Johnson, Liz and Randy Olson, and Jess and Heidi Smoczyk; and her many aunts, uncles, cousins, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents.

She will be greeted in heaven by her great-grandfather, Gene Neitge; great-grandparents, Wayne and Judith Korn; and cousin, William Korn.

As we reflect upon her brief journey, let us hold tight to the comfort of her smile, and the joy she brought into our lives. May she rest peacefully, forever remembered and eternally loved.
