GEORGE EUGENE JOHNSON
ROSE, Okla. - George Eugene Johnson, 84, passed from this life on Saturday, February 15, 2003, at his home in Rose. Several family members were with him when he went to be with the Lord.
George Eugene Johnson was born on May 2, 1918, to Herbert Eugene Johnson and Carolyn Rachel Townsend Johnson. It is not certain if he was born in Flint, Mich. or Akron, Ohio.
George married his child bride, Lela Holt, who was 15-years old at the time, on August 14, 1921. Lela turned 16 the next day. George and Lela had four children while living in Oklahoma, Walter Lee, Donald Ray, Rachel Viola and Ronald Gene. Then George and his family moved to California. While living there, George and Lela had three more children, Carolyn Ruth, David Wayne and Dale Warren.
In 1967, George, Lela and the younger boys David and Dale, moved to Oklahoma. It wasn't many years following that all the rest of the children and their families also moved to Oklahoma.
Through the seven children, George and Lela became the grandparents of 32 grandchildren. The oldest Tim Johnson, is almost 43 years old, and the youngest Briquetta Johnson, is three years old. Along with the 32 grandchildren, there are 53 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
George considered himself very blessed with this tremendous heritage. He said one time that he should be the happiest man alive because of all the beautiful children that called him grandpa.
George and Lela were also blessed by having many other children who looked to them as "grandma" and "grandpa" and George was certainly happy to be looked upon with such honor.
George was an industrious worker. Any task he undertook was going to be done not only to the best of his ability, but usually better, stronger, longer lasting or more efficient than actually needed.
In his later years, after retiring, George loved working with wood. He enjoyed making beautiful cedar chests for many wooden toys, rocking chairs, stools, or some other neat project for his grandchildren, daughters-in-law, family members, friends or others who learned of his masterful talents.
George was a child of God, knowing Jesus Christ as his Savior. He was saved in 1941 and then baptized in 1956, by the Cypress Missionary Baptist Church in Calif. He served as a Deacon in various churches for some 45 years. He also taught Sunday School, and assisted in planning and building several church facilities. He was very involved in the Lord's work and considered the church to be a very important part of his life. He loved the Lord and endeavored to direct all of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to live for the Lord.
George is preceded in death by his parents, one grandson Douglas Martin, one great-granddaughter Ashly Rae Ann Macken, and a daughter-in-law Deanna Raye Johnson.
He is survived by his loving wife of 64-1/2 years Lela, of the home; two daughters Rachel and her husband Jim Martin, of Rose, and Carolyn and her husband Claude Martin, of Rose; five sons Walter Johnson and wife Louise, of Sapulpa, Okla., Donald Johnson and wife Bonnie, of Rose, Ronald Johnson and wife Renee, of Rose, David Johnson and wife Connie, of Colcord, Okla. and Dale Johnson and wife Briqueta, of Marlow, Okla; 32 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and a host of other family members and a multitude of friends.
