Jadene met Antoine Johnson in 1993 and their unbreakable bond led them to marriage on September 26, 1998 at Trinity AME Church in Lansing, Michigan. During their 30 beautiful years together the couple raised five children A’Quesius Byrd, La’Tia Byrd, Kenan Johnson, Jamilia Johnson and Jillian Johnson.

Jadene had a great relationship with her stepfather, Hervin Uter and sister Rosalie Dunbar as well as close friends Angela Westbrooks and Viola Manns. Throughout her many years at WalMart and Tendercare, Jadene’s compassionate and caring personality led to her developing strong and lasting relationships with several coworkers, customers and residents.
