I wish to offer my deepest condolences to all of Johnnie's family and friends. I started in the Shipping Dept in 1984 at Servus and have several fond memories of her. My wife and I would often run into Johnnie at the Milan Hy Vee and always had time for a short conversation. She always had a quick wit and as I remember, was quite feisty. She will be missed!
