Annie L. Johnson

Annie L. Johnson, a cherished figure in her community and beloved family member, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025, in Emory, Texas at the age of 95. Born on July 7, 1930, to Quillie C. Wade and Fannie F. Gowin in Rains County, Annie was an embodiment of love, creativity, and simplicity, traits that shone brightly in every aspect of her life.

Annie, whose maiden name was Wade, dedicated her life to being a supportive farmers wife and was known for always being there for everyone. Her nurturing presence extended beyond her family; she played an integral role in her community, famously organizing the bluegrass festival for the volunteer fire department.

A proud member of Dunbar School in the Dunbar Community and a member of Church of Christ in Emory.  Those who had the pleasure of knowing Annie will remember her as loving, artistic, thrifty, and simple. Her talents blossomed in her vegetable garden, where she found joy in canning, cooking, and baking. Later in life she indulged herself in Dr. Peppers.  Always seen with one.
