Faye was a beautiful example of love all her life. She loved her family, she 
loved her friends and most of all she loved her Savior. It was her love for 
Jesus that moved her to live a selfless life of devotion and grace. She never

She loved to be outdoors digging in God’s dirt and planting flowers. 
She always thought that everything was a teachable moment for children 
especially when it came to the beauty of God’s perfect creation. 
Many people may not have known that Faye was also an artist and a beautiful 
writer. 

Faye was the devoted wife of David Johnson for 41 years, and the beloved mother 
of Jonathan Johnson and Kyle Johnson, all of Slidell. 

She was lovingly referred to as “Mother-in-Love” by her daughters-in-law, Jenny 
M. Johnson and Jennifer G. Johnson, and was affectionately known as Grandma to 
6 grandchildren who were the love of her live - Jordan, Kylee, Emma, Carson, 
Brady and Lilee Johnson. She is also survived by three sisters; Yvonne Ortego

brother, Ray Carson (husband of Belca), both of Pine Prairie, LA. She is also
