Trena Johnson Dohar 1947-2021

Trena will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She also will be remembered as a voice of reason, a stickler for taste and for her zest for life.

She was born April 23, 1947, in Meadville, Pa., the daughter of Lloyd “Bud” and Betty Tyler Johnson, and moved to the Youngstown area as a young child.

Trena graduated from Austintown Fitch High School and was a member of St. Maron Maronite Catholic Church.

Trena was employed at General Electric and also as a bartender at Holiday Inn, Boardman, but her true career was being a proud homemaker. She loved her family and also loved being right most of the time. She was an exceptional caregiver for everyone.

Trena had many passions throughout her life. She loved her trips to casinos, watching the television show “Law & Order” and was beyond an avid golfer.

Trena leaves behind to hold onto memories of her, her husband Michael J. Dohar, whom she married Nov. 25, 1981; two daughters, Brittany Rae (fiance, Martin Dominguez) Dohar of Mexico and Michelle (John) Alonzo of California; a granddaughter, Kayla (Eric) Sampson; two great-grandsons, Winston and Jones; her brother, Lloyd (Shirley) Johnson; closest niece, Stacey (Scott) Mihalick; her grandpuppy, Henry; and her dear friends, Jackie Motsinger and Teresa Fisher; along with many other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Besides her parents, Trena was preceded in death by an infant son, Michael; and her sister, Phyllis Petrella.
