Phyllis was a dear friend and neighbor for many years. Although we moved away from Sever Woods we fondly remember her smile and encouraging words. Please know your family is in our thoughts and prayers. II Corinthians 5:7,8 For we walk by faith, not by sight – we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Sending our thoughts and prayers to everyone in the Johnson family. Many wonderful memories of Phyllis–a sweet, kind Aunt. I remember being around 18 years old, hitching around North America with my friend Dale, and dropping in to see the Johnson family in Metuchen, NJ. After being fed, bathed and otherwise treated like royalty, Phyllis then offered to drive Dale and I to a good spot to continue our journey. We just needed an intersection, but Phyllis would have none of it, driving us around for over an hour to find only the best place for her nephew and his friend to continue their journey. Rest in peace, Aunt Phyllis.
My sister was so very lucky to have been blessed with Phyllis as her sister-in-law. Marcia spoke of Phyllis and all the New Jersey family often. Unfortunately the most time I spent with Phyllis was while we were helping Marcia care for Dick in his final week. I was amazed by her energy and strength. I hope you are all comforted knowing she is still the energizer bunny trying to keep up with her little brother and his shenanigans. Our thoughts and prayers go out to
all her family. love Sharon and Paul
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
I can remember Grammy was one big burst of energy! She was always referred to as the energizer bunny and she would never stop until everything was done. Although we didn’t have that much time together, the memorizes we did make will always be remembered; like all the times you got ready at our house and we all crowded around you with all the rollers in your hair or how we would always be in awe with all the vitamins you were able to take down at once with one little cup of water. Or that time you stayed up and made your pecan tassies with us. Whenever I called, you always had me smiling and always reminded me to do my best in school. One of the last calls we ever had she wished me the best of luck on my drivers test and I will always remember that. Rest in peace Grammy I love you
One of the most amazing individuals one could speak of, Phyllis Johnson. She was kind, considerate, thoughtful, giving of herself, and most importantly, a fantastic mother-in-law. One could not ask for better. That was Phyllis. Just a phone call away, Phyllis was always there, no matter what. She touched many, will always be remembered, and sincerely missed. I’m thankful I was able to be with her in her last weeks, and will never forget our last moments together. I wish I could be there with the rest of the family, but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Grammy, you have impacted my life in many ways. Even though we lived miles and miles away from each other, you found a way to touch my heart in such a simple manner. Grammy was kind, loving, caring, strong, compassionate, and a great leader. From when I was little, she would tell me the right thing and be there for me even if it was from a phone call. I would get excited when she would stay over and I would be there each morning outside in the hallway to say good morning. I cherished those days because I knew that that was our time to connect. Grammy always gave me a smile. I could not have asked for anyone better. She will truly be remembered because I can never forget the great woman she was. The way Grammy fought through her sickness shows me that nothing is impossible. Impossible is the word that shows the strength required to achieve the greatness of the toughest times. The roughest time in my life, my grandmother was there sitting on the couch next to me along with me mother. The last time we talked I will never forget because some words my grandmother said to me will change my life forever. She told me to look past the difficulties because I am a strong lady and and I can push through anything. When we would talk about my grades, she would give me a boost of confidence because she would instantly say, “I don’t have to ask you about your grades because I know how smart my you are.” Those words will make me strive to keep my grandmother proud of my academic success and my ability to stay strong to become a woman just like her. Grammy, you will truly be missed. I love you. Rest in peace.
-With lots of love

Dear Karen, Tom, and the Johnson Family,
Our sincere condolences for your loss. We lit a candle for Phyllis and pray for strength and healing for your family during this difficult time. May memories of the time you shared together provide you some comfort, and our thoughts are with you.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I hope the words found in the bible at Isaiah 25:8 brings comfort. God promises to “swallow up death forever”. No more will we have to suffer heartache for God says he will “wipe away the tears from all faces”. Such a joyous time it will be; reunited with our dead loved ones!
Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed awa
