Suzanne Johnson

Suzanne was born in Paris, Texas, on June 6, 1948, to Fairy and William Chidester. She was the oldest of three girls and graduated from Dumas High School. Suzanne’s father died when she was a young girl. Her mother later married Gerald “Pa Pa” Moore who was a loving stepfather and grandfather.

After graduation, Suzanne moved to Amarillo and was employed at The First National Bank of Amarillo. It was there she met the love of her life and future husband, Cary Johnson. They were married on December 23, 1967, and Suzanne began the career for which she was destined, that of a loving wife and mother.

Suzanne became the matriarch of a large and happy family that included three children. Her son Jack is married to Deanna and has three children, Mackenzie, Trevor, and Walker. Her daughter Jessica is married to Kyle Lindsey. They have two children, Reagan and Johnson. Youngest daughter Cari Anne is married to Charlie Whitehead. They are blessed with a daughter, Lane, and triplets, Jess, Whitney, and Wesley.

In 1981, Suzanne, Cary and family moved from the Texas panhandle to Burnet. Suzanne always maintained a warm and loving home and was ever present at countless drill team competitions, football games, and other school related events. She took enormous pride in her family.

After her children moved away, Suzanne enjoyed sharing her incredible tastes in fashion with other ladies in the community through her association with Suzy Q’s Boutique in Burnet.

In addition to doting on her nine grandchildren, Suzanne enjoyed traveling, spending time with friends, shopping, and defying normal statistical outcomes by winning at slot machines.

Suzanne leaves an incredible legacy of love. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

In addition to her husband Cary, three children, nine grandchildren, Suzanne is survived by her mother, Fairy Choate, and sisters, Jeannie Euthon and Jodi Potts.

A public memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday, April 12, 2011, at 3pm at the First United Methodist Church, 909 N. Vanderveer St. in Burnet.
