Born in Burlison, TN, on June 15, 1928, she was the only child of James “Casey” Evans and Cleo Abernathy Evans. She was a graduate of Byars Hall High School in Covington, TN and married the love of her life, W.B. “Bill” Johnson in 1946. She was a member of First Methodist Church in Amory since 1954 where she taught Sunday school and sang in the choir in her younger years. For over 30 years, she was a bookkeeper for Amory Garment Co. She loved her home, flowers, and butterflies. She was an avid SEC basketball fan especially Tennessee girls; but most of all, she cherished her family and lived to make their lives better. A strong, independent, gentle, and loving lady, she was respected by all who knew her.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
