Mrs Johnson was full of life. A real spitfire. She could keep up with us girls and usually pass me. Thelma used to go on jaunts with Annette, Patty, Reta and I. We went to Kentucky Horse Park to see the Christmas lights, concerts, Ohio State fair, Friendly's, Frischs' and Brian Brenner and VanDells shows at La Comedia. She was the chaperone. When we would get rowdy she would sternly say, "Now girls", then laugh. When we were all together I would call her Mom. She just laughed and joined in like one if the girls. She could walk every inch of the fair grounds; Monthomery, Greene,State and others. She was always at the WACO fly-ins, Moraine Air Park and several others. Thelma had a great laugh and a sense if humor. She faced life's difficulties head - on in her terms. She was a teenager in a seniors body. Mrs. Johnson was well known in Moraine in her capacity as Mayor Johnson's wife. She could be serious if need be. Thelma loved her wild birds and deer. She would sit for hours and watch them. Most of all she loved her family. Sincere condolences to Patty and extended family. Thelma will be missed. I'm honored to call her friend. Love to all, Chris
