Evelyn Johnson, 93, former resident of Shreveport for 36 years and wife of the late Dr. Howard J. Johnson, former pastor of Central Christian Church of Shreveport, went home August 28, 2010 to be with her Lord and her friends and family who went before.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Dr. Howard J. Johnson; her brother, Willard Redman; her brother-in-law, Bob Johnson and wife, Helen; and her parents Olive and Bert Redman.

She is survived by her daughter, Jeanne Cook and husband, Jack; two grandsons, Mark and Glenn Williams; nephews, Willard and Larry Redman and David Johnson; and nieces, Laura Kay Love and Rose Marie Fletcher.

Evelyn will long be remembered for her cheerful personality, her willingness to help, and the cards she sent to celebrate special occasions. Being confined to a wheelchair did not slow her down at all. She still attended church and often went out to eat to celebrate birthdays with her family and friends.

She was adored by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed.

A special tribute of thanks goes to the nursing staff, CNAs, kitchen, maintenance, and housekeeping folks at Town Hall Estates Nursing Center for such professional care and love shown to Evelyn for the past eleven and a half years.
