Darlene Johnson

Darlene Johnson was born on January 6, 1936. She was 76 years old and passed on October 25, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. She was a wonderful wife and mother of four, grandmother of four and great-grandmother of three. Never has the world seen a more loving, patient, and amazing woman. We all feel as if a great light has gone missing from the world without her. My grandmother has always asked that in her death we do not grieve but instead to celebrate her life. She wanted her loved ones to know love, happiness, and laugh at the things that make us cry, because while they all seem so serious now later on it is the stuff that does make us laugh. The hardest part about someone you love being gone is that you can't call them up and talk about the good and bad things that happened today. My grandmother was and is my best friend. I feel her love all around me and talk to her everyday because I know in my heart she is still with me. I know she is proud of me. I only wish my girls got to spend as much time with my grama as I did, to really know what an amazing person she is. She is greatly missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her husband Bill, son David, daughters Barbara, Linda and Kim, her grandchildren Kelly, Cassi, Christopher, and Sarah, her great-grandchildren, Joe, Serenity, and Jasmine, her two brothers Dan and Bob, and many nieces and nephews. We thank you all for the kind words and love.
