Sharon Lee Johnson, 61, died March 21, 2025, at her home in Hutchinson. She was born December 26, 1963, in Hutchinson, Kansas, to Gerald C. and Shirley Ann (Gordon) Riemann.
Sharon graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1982 and then went on to attend Hutchinson Community College. She worked as a home health aide in Hutchinson.
Sharon enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing and camping. She enjoyed her Saturday mornings going to garage sales. Not only was she a caregiver in her career but also when it came to animals. She would often care for and feed any stray cat or dog that she came across, as well as her own dog, Copper. Sharon cherished the moments spent with her dad going to K-State football games together. Nothing in life compared to the love she had for her grandchildren, who were the light of her life.
Sharon was a member of First Church of God in Hutchinson and a very active member of Kairo's Prison Ministry International.
On June 2, 1984, she married Robert Lee Johnson, in Hutchinson. They shared over 41 years of marriage. He survives.
