Johnette was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her three grandsons were her "sunshine" and she let them know by singing "You Are My Sunshine" to them when they were little. She loved sewing, gardening, bowling, watching Wheel of Fortune, cooking, baking with her grandsons, and sitting on the front porch watching birds and visiting with neighbors and friends. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her best and loved her most.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Tommie Lou Evans; brothers, Clarence Richard Cavender and Henry Lee Cavender.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 52 years, Dan William Malone; daughters, Amy Malone Christian (Corey) and Tracy Malone Racine (Randy); grandsons, Ethan Racine, Lewis Racine and Hudson Racine; sisters, Dorothy Thomas and Jo Rudolph (Matt).
