Jeni Elaine Johnson, 49, of Austin, passed away with her family by her side on Saturday, March 27, 2021 in Round Rock following a hard-fought battle with Covid and its effects. She was born February 16, 1972, in Midland to Teresa and John Kling.
While Midland was her home town, she grew up across Texas before finding her way to Austin, graduating from McCallum High School, Class of 1991. She got married to Bobby Vipperman in 1994 and they had two children who were the light of her life. While that union unfortunately didn’t last, they remained friends throughout her life. She married again to Jason Johnson in 2003 and they were together for almost 12 years. She made a career as a cosmetologist and beautician as both a practitioner and as an instructor with a number of loyal clients who became friends that would follow her where ever her career took her. She had the heart of an adventurer and was always up for excitement, from going to races or playing games with (or against) family members. Always up for a good time, she loved parties and could make even the dullest of gatherings into a celebration. While adventure and celebrations brought her joy, the true love of her life were her family and friends in whom she took great joy in spending time with and celebrating their accomplishments and triumphs. The old saying about never meeting a stranger was personified in Jeni’s approach to meeting new people and creating new friendships throughout her life.
She is survived by her children, Katelyn Vipperman (and Benton Sharp), of Cedar Park, Zachary Vipperman of Round Rock; her mother, Theresa Tucker of San Angelo; her father, John Kling of Athens; her siblings, Ben (and Sandy) Kling of Athens, Rebecca (and Todd) Epperson of Athens, Adam Kling of Athens; Steven (and Julie) Scott of San Angelo; her boyfriend Don Krahn of Leander; her former husband, Bobby Vipperman of Round Rock; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
A celebration of life is being planned for later this spring by her children and family.
