Hannah Katherine Shutt Johnson, 30, of Siler City, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 1st, 2025, at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital, surrounded by family.
Hannah was born on October 2nd, 1994, in Forsyth County to Pastor Bobby A. and Karen Dawson Shutt. She is preceded in death by her daughter, Hope Johnson.
Hannah was a 2013 graduate. She was homeschooled and excelled. She loved cooking and making crafts. Her biggest love in life was being a wife and mother. She loved going to the beach and Christmas holidays. Her favorite color was Carolina blue. Hannah loved the Lord and would always say “God is Good” during her battle with ALS. She was a member of Faith Baptist Church. She attended adult Sunday school class; she made the church bulletins and activity schedules. She worked in the church nursery and was a member of the church choir. Hannah had a beautiful smile and a forgiving spirit.
Hannah lived her life in such a way to show us what is important: Jesus, children, unconditional love, FAMILY, yummy food and drinks, salt water—tears and the ocean, and blue, constant as the skies above.
We ask that if at all possible her team, loved ones, and supporters—YOU ALL—would wear light blue attire to this service if you are able to attend. She would love a sea of blue.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 9 years, Jessie D. Johnson; her children, Jessie D. Johnson, Joanna K. Johnson, and Aaron H. Johnson; her parents, Pastor Bobby A. & Karen D. Shutt; her siblings, Micah Shutt, Jonathan Shutt, Rebekah Horst and her husband, Josh, and Susannah Shutt; her paternal grandparents, Tommy and Katie Shutt; maternal grandmother Portia Dawson; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 8th, 2025, at 2 pm, at Faith Baptist Church in Siler City. Visitation will be held at the church prior to the service from 12-2 pm. Burial will follow the service in the church cemetery. Services will be officiated by Pastor Bobby A. Shutt, Pastor Bill Davis, Jessie Johnson, and Darrell Gaines.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society.
Smith & Buckner Funeral Home will be assisting the Johnson family.
