Carolyn Johnson Obituary
Carolyn Johnson, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 78. She was born in Clovis, New Mexico, and raised in Roswell. After graduating from Roswell High School, she moved to California to begin a new chapter in her life.
Carolyn completed nursing school and later earned her Bachelor’s Degree, becoming a dedicated and compassionate Physician’s Assistant. Her calling to care for others was a lifelong mission, and she touched countless lives through her work and her unwavering kindness. Carolyn’s greatest joys in life were her faith, her family, and her community. She loved God deeply and served faithfully through her church, where she also shared her beautiful voice to all. Carolyn gave freely of her time and her heart to those in need.
She was preceded in death by her father, Major Johnson; her mother, Ella Kate Johnson; her brother, Earl D. Johnson, Sr.; and her sister, Renee Johnson. Cherishing her memory are her devoted children: Janet Womack (Scheddrick), Jacqueline Woodard, and John C. Griggs, Jr. (fiancée, Rita); her beloved grandchildren: Diamond Bostick, Jasmyne Womack, Taylor Griggs, Sydney Griggs, Shaunna Walker, and John C. Griggs III; and her precious great-granddaughter, Aaliyah Griggs. She is also survived by her loving siblings: Ella Louise Turner, Major Johnson (Sylvia), Margaret Blincoe (Thomas), Nathaniel Johnson (Bernettie), James Brown (Janice), John Johnson (Martha), LaFonda Federico, and Laquita Ruth Johnson; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who loved her deeply.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, 11:00am at Hillcrest Funeral Home in San Antonio, Texas. Interment will follow at Wildflower Cemetery.
Carolyn’s smile could brighten every room she entered, and her spirit was a true beacon of light. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” – Psalm 34:18

Carolyn had a smile that could truly light up a room. I see that smile in many of you. I know she is walking with the Lord, singing, smiling, and free of earthly ailments. She will always be with you, and watching over you. Rejoice in the amazing life that she had and the times spent together.

My love and prayers to you, Janet, Jacqui, and John. As I was reading the obituary and looking at the collage of pictures, the thought came to mind of a nickname that she was called, when we lived in California, and you guys were, I think in your early teens “Sweetie.” And she was that, very kind and very sweet. I’m glad to have known her and experience her love and her sweetness. She had a strong alto voice and when she’s saying, her love for God and her love for the people was so evident. She will be missed, but oh how wonderful to have known her. Love to each of you and may the peace of God, comfort, and strengthen you.

My Dear "Sis Kate" (Song Bird) ... I've been missing the laughter we shared and her heart felt worship and praise in song. She would do her little two-step dance when she was full and look you in eyes and pour out her song to you with great conviction. Boundless energy, joyful in heart and infectious love ! ❤
