Jean Johnson

Her parents, Oray and Viola Jordan, move the family to Sulphur in 1941 from Bossier City. She loved her family – including those invited into the fold. Her focus was on her family. Bobby and Jean were married for 62 years. They built a lifetime of memories on Palermo Drive since 1968.

Jean was a life-long learner and educator. She had several degrees from McNeese University up to Educational Specialist. SJ Welsh was her school home for 25 years – teaching SPARK (Gifted Program) in the trailer park out back (the temporary buildings behind the main building). After her teaching career she continued working with teachers as President of Calcasieu Federation of Teachers. She also served as a Vice President of Louisiana Federation of Teachers.

She is survived by her husband, Bobby; her sister, Virginia Jones; best friend, Sharon Stratton; her three daughters, Teri Johnson and Michael, Wendy Johnson, and Jamie Fults and Tony; grandchildren, Krystal Swain, Corey Johnson, Katie Lovett, Benjamin Vincent, and Cameron Thurman; great grandchildren, Ethan Johnson, Aidan Abshire, Haylee Johnson, Cohen Swain, Mason Swain, Lily Johnson, Brock Lovett, Connor Lovett, and Scarlett Lovett; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many forever friends.
