Johnson Sr. and wife, Gertrude, and Shelley Johnson Champagne; her grandchildren whom she adored Steven Johnson Jr., Edward “Jack” Johnson, Corey Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Cheri Verret, Brent Verret, Shane Verret and Brooke Doucet; and a host of great-grandchildren.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Edward Jack Johnson Sr.; and her son Edward Jack Johnson Jr.

Serving as pallbearers are Steven, Edward and Corey Johnson and Brent, Shane and Pat Verret. Sammy LaPorte will serve as honorary pallbearer.
