Chris B. Johnson was born March 4, 1925 in Gates, TN to Ivan & Irene (Pickard) Ball. Chris married the love of her life, Jesse Johnson, Jr., in Memphis, TN on September 2, 1950; a marriage that would produce two children, Kendall and Kami. Chris worked in real estate and Jesse’s office, but spent most of her life as a homemaker caring for her family.
She will be remembered for her strength, wisdom, her keen sense of humor, love of God and her family, honesty and spirit. Chris was very involved in Quails Springs Baptist Church and an active member of her Sunday School class. She loved her birds and to garden. The world lost a remarkable woman and this earth will be a slightly duller place without her.
She was preceded in death by her husband and son. She left behind her beloved daughter, Kami and husband, Micah; granddaughters, Jessica and Madalyn Campbell; and great-granddaughter, Jolie Campbell.
Visitation will be at 1pm, Sunday, March 1, 2015 at Memorial Park Historic Cemetery Chapel with a Celebration of Life service following at 2pm. The family would like to thank Arbor House Reminisce Center in Norman for their loving care of Chris in the recent years. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in Chris’ memory.
