Sara "Sally" Jane Johnson

Sara "Sally" Johnson, age 94, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 7, 1931, Sally lived a long, full, and faith-filled life defined by her boundless energy, creativity, and devotion to those she loved.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Edward Johnson, and daughter-in-law, Lori Johnson. Sally is survived by her children, Allen Johnson, Mark (Karen) Johnson, and Kathleen (Scott) Solomon. She was the proud grandmother of Christopher Johnson, Bradley (Nicole) Johnson, Ariel (Kyle) Cassinelli, Alyse Solomon, Dayna Kovacic, and Gina (Ricky) Rodriguez. Each of them carries forward her warmth, strength, and love of family.
Sally's life was a reflection of her generous heart. She poured her love into everything she did—whether baking her favorite pastries, tending her garden, crocheting a blanket, or crafting something beautiful with her hands. She was a master of quiet creativity, never idle, always finding joy in making and giving.
More than anything, Sally adored her family. She played an active and cherished role in raising her grandchildren, instilling in them kindness, resilience, and the importance of faith and family. She was the kind of grandmother who showed up—who listened, guided, and loved without condition. Her gentle humor, steady guidance, and boundless affection will be remembered always.
Sally lived a wonderful and full life, defined not by possessions but by the love she gave and received. She leaves behind a legacy of strength, compassion, and devotion that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
She will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
