Neoma Lena Bierman was born November 30, 1922 in Glad Valley, SD. She was the daughter of Fred and Bertha (Jost) Bierman. Neoma grew up on the family farm near Glad Valley and in 1941 she graduated from the Isabel High School. She received her Teachers Certificate from Northern Teachers College in Aberdeen. Her teaching career included the Bloom School in 1942 and Northville and Redfield school until 1951. From 1951 until 1956 she served as Superintendent of Schools for Ziebach County.
On October 20, 1956 Neoma was married to Harold E. Johnson at the St. James Lutheran Church in Belle Fourche. Following their marriage they ranched in the Dupree area. From 1977 to 1995 Neoma worked as the Book Keeper for the Cenex station in Dupree. Because of poor health she retired. In July of last year, she moved to Spearfish where she was a resident at the Edgewood – Vista Assisted Living Center.
Neoma was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith of which she belonged her entire life. She enjoyed crocheting, playing games, and doing crossword puzzles. Her time working at Cenex was something she very much enjoyed. She and Harold were just 5 months shy of celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
