The Bakersfield Californian 
Johnson, Virginia     
 
Virginia Johnson 
IN LOVING MEMORY 

Kern County bid farewell to a local sweetheart on Thursday, June 30, 2005. 
Virginia K. Johnson was known as the Sheep Lady of Bakersfield. For the last 
27 years she had an unmatched passion for two things: her kids and her sheep 
(which anyone would tell you were also her kids). She was mother, grandmother, 
mentor and friend to the thousands that passed through her gates at Johnsons 
Livestock Farm. Both she and her flock were very well known at nearly every 
fair and livestock auction in this state and some nationally. She had an 
incredible reputation and was loved by many people. She was an active member 
in most local chapters of the FFA, the Jr. Farmers Assoc., 4-H, the Wool 
Growers Assoc. and many other organizations. She volunteered countless hours 
to over a dozen local Ag. programs. Virginia will be sorely missed, not only 
by her immediate family, but also by her extended family and friends in the 
community. She is survived by her husband, Lloyd; her brother, Leroy; her 
children, Don, Kathy, Steve, Teri, John and Bud; her 16 grandchildren and 9 
great-grandchildren. Per Virginias request, no memorial services will be held. 
Well-wishers may instead make memorial contributions to local youth and 
agricultural programs. The Everlasting Light Those we love must someday pass 
beyond our present sight Must leave us and the world we know without their 
radiant light. But we know that like a candle, their lovely light will shine, 
to brighten up another place more perfectmore divine. And in the realm of 
heaven where they shine so warm and bright, our loved ones live forevermore in 
Gods eternal light.
