Sending all of my love to the Johnson family. Mrs. Johnson will forever be remembered as an outstanding teacher and inspiration to me and my classmates. She always went above and beyond and it was such a treat to see her anytime I came back home. We'll miss you terribly Mrs. Johnson.

Mrs. Johnson was one of the kindest souls one could ever wish to meet. She was thoughtful and compassionate in everything she did. I had the privilege of having Mrs. Johnson as my teacher in fourth grade, in 2009, and every time I have seen her since, she would smile and greet me like family. Her love and acceptance of every single person should serve as an example of what it is to be a true Christian.

To Maureen and your family-
Mrs. Johnson was a pivotal part of my children's early lives. She was an amazingly great educator who led by kindness. May she rest in eternal peace.

Dear Carl, Paul, and Maureen,
For the past 46 years, my life has been blessed by God with Mary Lou's friendship. She was my colleague, my mentor, and my big sister. Although I am sad, I am so grateful that almost my entire life was blessed with her presence. Of one thing I am certain: we all have a beautiful, kind saint in Heaven watching over all of us now as she did here on Earth.
Know that I am here if you need anything at all.
With much love and many prayers, Mark

mrs johnson helped out and filled various jobs for nine years with me while attending saint mary's school. she taught my dad, matthew, and my whole family has enjoyed every conversation with her. she is such a kind and bubbly woman who was always up to talk to me. i love her with all my heart and hope that she did not suffer through any days. she played such a big part of saint mary's and everyone will miss her deeply. she could always put a smile on my face and make me laugh. mrs johnson is such a classy woman and always looked her best at school. every clothing item she owned fit her to a tee and she always looked beautiful. me, my family, and the whole saint mary's community will miss her and she will never be forgotten.

It is with great sadness that I learn of Mrs. Johnson's passing. As a student (4th grade SMS) I will always remember her kindness and her great love of teaching. She always took her time to help or encourage you and I am grateful to her for all of the guidance she gave to so many young people. She leaves a truly wonderful legacy behind in all of those students she taught along the way and of course her loving family. The world is a little darker today having lost her. I will treasure the memories I have and always remember the smile and embrace that lit up a room when I would see her.
All of my love and prayers to her family and friends. Thank you Mrs. Johnson for reminding us what enduring kindness is.

Always,
Michael
