Johnnie was one of a kind. She was definitely a people person. She liked being around others and in her words, “if they don’t like it, that’s their problem.” Johnnie enjoyed square dancing, learning to play the guitar, cooking, quilting, bird hunting, fishing and hunting. She found great pleasure spending time with her grandchildren and her family. She was a member of Lydia Baptist Church.
