Mrs. Johnson was born in Clarendon, Texas, and moved to Cimarron

grade school at Bertrand and graduated from high school at PAIPAMC in 
1923 at Goodwell. She also received a two-year elementary 
certificate.

Mrs. Johnson taught at Delfin then moved to Phoenix. She graduated 
from business college in Phoenix and was a secretary with an 
insurance company. After two years, she returned to Cimarron County. 
Following her marriage, she was a homemaker and helped on the farm.

A charter member of Felt United Methodist Church, Mrs. Johnson was 
the musician when needed. She was treasurer of the Mother's Club, 
organized the WSCS and organized fund-raisers for cafeteria equipment 
for the Felt School. In 1991, she moved to the Cimarron Nursing Home.

She married Henry Johnson in 1929 at Clayton, N.M. He preceded her in 
death.

Survivors include two daughters, Betty Jo LaFave of Tulsa and Mabel 
Joyce Ogle of Felt; five grandchildren; and 13 greatgrandchildren.

The family suggest memorials be to a favorite charity which may be 
left in care of the mortuary.
