I worked with Johnnie for several years at Southwestern Bell. She was always the sweetest, kindest lady who always had a smile for everyone. Sincere condolences to her family.

Johnnie Johnson was a family friend since about 1949. She, husband Smokey and son Skeeter came to visit the Allen family in Quintana many times over the past years. Husband Smokey was always part of the 'fish frying' for the Annual July Fish Fry held at the Allen Home in Quintana. Johnnie was a kind, good-hearted person. She is part of good memories for our family.
