Loretta Johnson Obituary

Loretta Johnson
01/11/1943 - 01/29/2026
Loretta Johnson passed away on January 29, 2026, at the age of 83 in Smithville, TX. Born on January 11, 1943, Loretta lived a full life surrounded by family and friends who cherished her presence.
She is survived by her loving children, Cynthia Cremer, Wendy Pilgrim, Donald Johnson, John Johnson, and Deborah Brewer; 14 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to her life. Her sisters, Elizabeth Owen and Bernadette Reynolds, along with many nieces and nephews, also survive her. Loretta was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Henry Johnson; her parents, Reinhold and Margaret Cremer; three sisters, four brothers, and her grandson, David Michael.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no memorial service. Loretta was a private person who never sought the limelight. Her ashes will be spread in her hometown of Pakala, Hawaii, where she held many fond memories.

You were truly one of a kind. A fun-loving, kind woman who brought warmth and light wherever you went. Your laughter, your spirit, and the love you gave so freely will stay with me always. I feel so lucky to have known you, to have loved you, and to have shared even small moments with someone so special.
You will be missed more than words can ever say. My heart carries you with me, now and always.
