Charlotte S. Johnson

Charlotte Mae (Schreiner) Johnson, 82, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, returned to her Heavenly Father on March 19, 2024, after a 10-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Charlotte was born on July 1, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky to the late Melton and Juanita (Walton) Schreiner. After graduating from Southeastern Christian College in Winchester, Kentucky, with a degree in Music Education, she moved to Louisiana. Charlotte spent many years working in the banking industry and over 18 years as a Compliance Specialist at First National Bankers Bank before her retirement in 2003. Charlotte was a member of Florida Boulevard Baptist Church. She loved vacationing in Kentucky each summer to visit her family and friends, singing in the church choir, taking care of her plants and flowers, spending time with the neighborhood family on Duchess Drive, playing cards with her friends, going to the casinos, and nights out dancing with Dickie and her friends. There was nothing she loved more in this world than her family and friends. She especially cherished time with her grandchildren and her great grandson, Gunnar, who she proudly doted over and spoiled every chance she got. Charlotte is survived by her loving and devoted husband, H.L. Dickie Johnson; son, Luster (Sandy) Hayden, and daughter, Connie (Joe) Maranto; grandchildren, Allyson Hayden and Sarah (Ross) Albarado; Great Grandchildren, Gunnar Reese and Easton Leader; step children, Andee (Maurice) Melancon, Rickie (Gretchen) Johnson, and Sonya (Ryan) Smith; 13 step grandchildren; brother and sister, Melton “Buddy” Schreiner and Connie Sue Summers; cousin, Kenny (Theresa) Moore; brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Charlotte is preceded in death by her granddaughter, Lauren Hayden; grandson, Joshua Hayden; sister Wanda (Kenny) Fulkerson; Porter “Chip” Summers and Charlotte Mae “Sugar” Summers who she considered her second parents; and mother-in-law, Virginia Johnson.
