Aunt Pookie was always sweet and loving anytime we saw her. She loved to see Samantha & Trey as they grew and always had a hug for you. You will be greatly missed.

I only had the pleasure of meeting her one time, she was a gracious and beautiful woman. When mentioned in a conversation everyone always spoke very highly of Mrs. Johnson. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her especially by her Family and the citizens of Sulphur, she was a pillar of the community of Sulphur. I know several people that knew her well and words were often spoken of her generous, giving nature, her kindness and her love. She possessed a inner beauty and reflection that few achieve in life, and she will continue to shine as she takes her Angel wings. She will always be in the hearts of all that love her.
