Cheryl Johnson, R.N., President of the United American Nurses (http://www.uannurse.org) and the Michigan Nurses Association (http://www.minurses.org) passed away Sunday, October 28, 2007 surrounded my family and friends. She had been admitted to the University of Michigan Health System on Friday, October 19 with a ruptured brain aneurysm.

The AFL-CIO President John Sweeney praised Johnson as a real pioneer for nurses. http://blog.aflcio.org/2007/10/29/workers-mourn-death-of-uan-president-cheryl-johnson/   She was a member of the AFL-CIO Executive Council (http://www.aflcio.org/aboutus/thisistheaflcio/leaders/ecmembers_gl.cfm)   and vice president of the Coalition of Labor Union Women, an AFL-CIO constituency group.
