Ms. Johnson was born April 21, 1939, in Forrest City, and was the daughter of Tom Johnson and Irene McDaniel Johnson.

In her earlier years she worked as a bouncer at the local nightclubs. She was well known and never met a stranger. She loved cooking and had been known to blow up a few microwaves in her time. She loved her family and especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ms. Johnson is survived by one brother, James Franklin 'Butch' Johnson of Augusta, Arkansas, three grandsons; Micheal Mellow, Brandon Scalf, and wife, Rebecca, and Randall Lipe, and six great-grandchildren; Johnathan Scalf, Reighlynn Varner, Conner Mellow, McKinley Mellow, Bentley Scalf, and Hudson Reyer. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers; Tommy Johnson and Ralph 'Pete' Johnson, and one daughter, Teddy Chapman.
