This includes her longtime friend, Cathy Brooks, and close friends, Stacey McGaha, Malorie Busch, Patrice Kirksey, Tamara Fairburn and Jackie Guido. In addition, her family was extremely important to her.

She is survived by her sisters, Willa Simmons of Gary, Indiana, Loraine Jones of Twinsburg, Alma Johnson of East Liverpool and Janice Brown of Smyrna, Georgia; brothers, Alfred Johnson Jr. of East Liverpool and Ron Johnson of Twinsburg; along with many nieces, nephews and friends who loved her.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by a sister, Gloria Wilson.
