She enjoyed the time spent with her family, especially her grands and great grands. She was a homemaker who really loved to cook. A favorite pastime for her was watching her soap operas on television. She was a sweet lady who would bring a smile to the face of everyone she met.

Webster; twenty-three great grandchildren; ten great-great grandchildren; a devoted caregiver for more than thirty years, Mrs. Bertha Johnson; several extended family members, neighbors and friends.
