Johnny was the love of my mom’s life and they shared almost 39 years of marriage, enjoying family vacations, fishing, and camping. She loved Jesus and fellowshipping. She prayed for all and blessed so many with her smile, laughter, and sewing talents. She left the best gift of knowing she was saved by her Jesus. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
A funeral service is planned on Friday, July 12th, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. at Thornhill-Dillon Mortuary in Joplin, MO. The family invites friends for a time of visitation prior to the service beginning at 1:00 p.m. Burial to follow at Osborne Cemetery in Joplin, MO.
Arrangements are under the direct care of Parker Mortuary, Joplin, MO.
