Rebecca Johnson

(From Parker Mortuary)

Rebecca G. Johnson, 66, of Joplin, Missouri, passed away suddenly on May 8, 2026, in Joplin. She was born on April 9, 1960, in Ontario, California, and lived a life marked by love, generosity, and courage. Rebecca was a Christian woman whose faith, compassion, and devotion to others guided the way she lived each day.

Rebecca earned her associate degree in nursing and devoted her career to caring for others as a Registered Nurse. She brought comfort, dignity, and kindness to the people she served, and her work reflected the gentle strength and steady presence that so many came to appreciate in her. She was respected not only for her skill and professionalism, but also for the warmth and sincerity she shared with patients, families, and coworkers alike.

Family was the center of Rebecca’s life, and she cherished every moment spent with those she loved. She especially enjoyed being present for her grandchildren’s events and took great joy in cheering them on and celebrating their accomplishments.

She loved her family deeply and found happiness in the simple, meaningful moments shared with them. Her loving nature touched everyone around her, and her generous spirit will be remembered by all who knew her.

Rebecca is survived by her sons, Dustin Johnson and his wife Sara of Webb City, Missouri, Brandon Johnson and his wife Melanie of Joplin, Missouri, and Jordan Johnson and his wife Erin of Springfield, Missouri. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Maggie Berlin and her husband Javis, Ellie, Blake, Teddi, and Griffin Johnson, as well as her great-grandchild, Brogan. Her family was one of her greatest

blessings, and she treasured each of them dearly.

She is also survived by her brothers, Danny McDonald, Richard McDonald and his wife Tara, both of Joplin, Missouri; her sisters, Patricia Coleman of Joplin, Pam Porter of Joplin, and Cari McDonald-Griffith of Joplin; and many nieces and nephews as well as extended family members and friends who will miss her deeply. Rebecca was preceded in death by her parents, George H. and Carolyn (Lott) McDonald, and by her brother, Brian McDonald.

Services will be planned at a later date.
