Dorothy Laureta Roots was born on January 21, 1915 in Tyrone, OK to James Gibson (J.G.) and Sara May (Ogle) Roots. The family moved to Texhoma, OK in 1922 where she graduated from high school in 1933. She attended PAMC in Goodwell, OK while working for Dr. Jack, the dentist in Texhoma. Dorothy married Lowell “Squidge” Johnson in his parents’ home on Christmas morning, 1936. After marrying, Dorothy became a full-time wife and mother to their three children Georgia, Patricia and Robert. Her home was the gathering place for many happy family occasions and where the grandchildren and neighborhood kids were always welcome.

Dorothy gave her life to the Lord Jesus Christ on her 34th birthday, having worked faithfully in the church for several years before giving Jesus her heart. She continued her service to the First Baptist Church of Texhoma in various ministries – Sunday school teacher for over 50 years, VBS worker, “bus driver” for children to have a way to church; however, her heart was most fulfilled through her efforts in the Women’s Missionary Union. She was honored with a banquet for having served in WMU for 40 years; she served Associational WMU treasurer for several years and as Associational WMU president as well as having served as president of the local WMU at First Baptist. Life-long friendships developed with women across the area and the state due to their shared interest in reaching others for Christ through missions.

Dorothy was a loving mother and grandmother. She and Lowell were avid fans through the years of the Texhoma Red Devils, the Gruver Lady Greyhounds, the Goodwell Eagles and Lady Eagles, the Liberal Redskins and summer softball depending on which child, grandchild or great-grandchild was on the field, on the court, on the mound or on the track. Her older four great-grandchildren counted it a blessing to have photo memories of five generations once their children were born.

In 2006 after breaking her leg, Dorothy moved into the Dunaway Manor in Guymon, OK where she resided until a recent illness. Her family wishes to express their appreciation and deep gratitude to the administration and staff of Dunaway Manor/Heritage Community . Also words cannot express how thankful the family is for the care Dorothy received in the BSA Critical Care Unit, Odyssey Hospice and Hansford Manor.

Dorothy was preceded in death by an infant daughter, her parents, her husband, two sisters Madeline Sellers and Vera Bentley, her brother James Roots and her son-in-law Fred Davidson.

Dorothy is survived by her daughter Georgia Davidson of Gruver, TX; son and daughter-in-law Robert and Rena Johnson of Dacula, GA; three granddaughters and husbands Misha and Gordon Moore of Goodwell, Melinda and Mike Cline of Liberal, KS, and Tammy and John Hursey of Lawrenceville, GA. She was “Dot Mama” to her great-grandchildren Adam and Jamie Cline of Wellington, TX, David and Danae Moore of Goodwell, Courtney and Clayton Jackson of Wichita Falls, TX, Caleb and Mariah Cline of Liberal, and Zachary, Austin, Joseph and Nathan Hursey of Lawrenceville. Her great-great-grandchildren are Savannah and Madison Cline, Trighton Moore, Peyton Cline, Colby Jackson and soon-to-arrive baby girl Moore. She is also survived by brother-in-law Buss Johnson of Texhoma, sister-in-law Millie Humphrey of Reseda, CA, a special great-niece and family Jolene and Junior Ortega and Aleksa Solis of Amarillo and many nieces and nephews.
