Dotsy (Bruce) Johnson

She and her husband used to plant a large vegetable garden. Dotsy enjoyed quilting, cooking…and was one of the best! She loved all kinds of animals – Wild squirrels even used to take food from her hand. She and Roy enjoyed going to garage sales. Dotsy never met a stranger. Always very welcoming and ready to feed family members, friends, and insurance agents, funeral home directors, etc. who came by. She also loved to mow.

Dotsy is survived by nephews: Wayne Triana, Sr. and wife Susan; Dennis Battles, and Ricky Battles and wife Beverly; niece, Gayla Joyner and husband Tony; and numerous other nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and great-great nieces.; dear friend, Sally Hess as well as other good friends and neighbors.
