Ruth Ann Johnson, 65, of Live Oak, was reunited in heaven with her late husband on Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2021. She was a lifelong resident of Live Oak and recently retired from Mayo Correctional Institute. She was a member of Dowling Park Church of God. Her best days were spent with her children, grandchildren and family.
Her children and grandchildren were the most important things in her life and she always made sure they knew it, especially her son and first grandson that were often lovingly referred to by other family members as her favorites. She enjoyed thrift shopping and loved finding vintage treasures for her family. She also enjoyed adventures with her dear cousin, Wanda and loved spending days sitting and visiting with her longtime friend, Faye. After retirement, she spent most days "piddling" in her yard or just sitting at home relaxing. She was a rock and endured more than most during her time on this earth. She was someone that could always be counted on to help others with problems, no matter how big or small. She was the perfect definition of selfless.
Johnson is survived by her son, Billy Wade Johnson (Lela), of Fort White; two daughters, Crystal Johnson Pearson, of Live Oak and Eualina Johnson Trawick (David), of Mayo; nine grandchildren: Teresa, Gavin, Madisyn, Weston, Xander, Grace, Gage, Olivia and Ty; two great-grandchildren: Oscar and Felix; one brother, Kenneth Dale Hart; nephew, Vincent Hampton Hart, as well many more nephews, nieces, family and friends. Her family finds great comfort knowing she is now with the Lord, where she has always strived to be. She was reunited with her husband, Richard Bruce Johnson; parents, Billy and Ruth Hart; brother, Gary, as well as Rev. George and Virginia Johnson. She will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved her.
