Kathi was truly a real gem of a lady! I always looked forward to getting that hug from her each time I saw her. The Wesley Sunday School class has certainly lost one of our matriarch leaders, supporter, and friend. While we will all miss her dearly, we know that she is now reunited with Doyle and with that she will be eternally happy and at peace.
May God bless and comfort the Johnson family during this time of great sorrow and loss.

Kathi was my beloved friend and sister in Christ. she was such a lovely encourager and cheerleader for not only me but the Wesley Class as a whole. she had a gentle and kind word for everyone and made everyone feel at home in her presence. Kathi was a precious lovely friend to me and i will miss her. my prayers go out to her family, whom she loved so much, for the Lord to hold you all in His loving arms and give you peace for the days ahead. your mother was dearly loved and i am thankful for having known her!!

Dearest Michael and others , may you cherish beautiful memories of your Mom and your Dad, as they are joined together again with our Heavenly Father. Although I didn’t have the honor of getting to know them that well, what I did see was the warmth towards each other and you, children. Michael, after our Mission Trip to Puerto Rico, I remember the group met at your parents’ home. The atmosphere at their home was peaceful and full of gentleness, and love for family. Kathi and Doyle were great role models of what a Christian couple should be. They will no doubt be missed deeply by your family and all who knew them, but just imagine the celebration of two such dear people going on in Heaven! Blessings, Susan Bishop
Dear family. Deloris and I were so sad to hear of Kathi. We have known her for many years as a member of the Wesley Class of the First United Methodist Church. She was a wonderful person and a dear friend. She will be missed. Our love to all the family at this time. Reid and Deloris Mullins
