Genevieve Bee Johnson

Genevieve “Bee” Johnson, 83, went to be with the Lord Friday, December 8, 2006. She was a resident of Baytown for the past 65 years, taught in Baytown schools for 24 years, and was a member of Pruett and Lobit Street Church of Christ. She lived with a strong faith in God and all knew that her actions spoke louder than words. Bee will always be remembered for love of family and friends, her quick wit, her passion for all things beautiful, and an amazing artistic gift. As an active member of the Porcelain Guild of Baytown, she so appreciated the inspiration of her fellow artisans and the opportunity to give to others.

Serving as pallbearers will be Christopher Ayrhart, Corey Smith, Kerby Smith, Casey Smith, Mike Huddle, Dennis Sanderson, Bo Johnson, and Reggie Johnson.

Bee was born on August 31, 1923 in Big Wells, TX to Wallace and Emma Blanchette. Her husband, Duncan Johnson preceded her in death. She is survived by her brother, Joe Blanchette and wife Mary Lou; children, Janis Smith and husband Larry, Joyce Ayrhart and husband Howard, and son, Jay Johnson. Grandchildren are Corey Smith, Kerby Smith and wife Rebecca, Casey Smith, Christopher Ayrhart, and Amanda Ayrhart; and great grandchildren, Sydney and Stanton Smith.
