She will be remembered by her children, Fred Johnson of Portland, Dewayne Johnson, Jr of Portland, Paul Johnson of Portland, Carolyn Adams of Oregon City, and Tony Johnson of Molalla; by grandchildren Jennifer Johnson of Portland, Matthew Johnson of Eugene, Jason Adams of Oregon City, Stephanie Adams Friskel of Portland, Jacob Johnson of Molalla, granddaughter Brittni Johnson of Molalla, great-grandson Austin Michael Adams, and by three half-sisters.
Georgia met her husband Dewayne Ellis Johnson, Sr when he was serving at the Mountain Home Air Base in Boise, Idaho, and they were married April 2nd, 1954. They came to Bend, Oregon, in 1956 and eventually settled in Portland in 1957.
Georgia worked as a presser for White Stag, and later as kitchen staff for Portland Public Schools, retiring after Dewayne fell ill in 1995. Dewayne passed away in 1998.
The family did a little camping and blackberry-picking together, but they primarily enjoyed gathering together as family in their homes or in local parks. They annually went on Christmas tree cutting expeditions. She enjoyed baking apple pies to freeze and making jam from apples taken from family land. Georgia was also a huge Bingo player, having been introduced to it late in life.
Georgia will be interred next to her husband Dewayne at Willamette National Cemetery.
