Wilma Jean Johnson

Wilma Jean Keeton Johnson, age 85, widow of the late Thomas Gilbert Johnson, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2025, at her residence in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. Born on February 23, 1940, in West Liberty, KY, Wilma was a beacon of joy and strength to all who knew her, touching the lives of many with her warmth and kindness.
Wilma's early life in West Liberty set the stage for a life full of love and devotion to her family. It is with deep sorrow and immense love that we mourn the passing of Wilma Jean, who was the cherished matriarch of our family, leaving behind a legacy of enduring love and treasured memories. She was the devoted mother of Keith (Jennifer) Johnson, Billy (Michelle) Tipton, and Vickie (Gary) Howard. Her presence will be dearly missed by her adoring grandchildren Connor Johnson, Tommy Tomlin, Jeremy Tomlin, Amanda Crouch, and Jackie Tipton, who brought immense joy and pride to her life.
Wilma's sisters, Earlene (Leonard) Dunn and Shirlene (Pruit) Sams, will forever remember her fondly, as will her numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins who were fortunate enough to experience her nurturing spirit and unwavering support. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Reva Caskey Keeton, a dear son, Randy Tipton, her brothers Clyde and Harold Ray (Desial) Keeton, and her treasured grandson, Colton Crouch.
A dedicated worker, Wilma retired from Steamliner Carpet Cleaners where she fostered not only a strong work ethic but also long-lasting friendships. Post-retirement, she diligently filled her days with the simple pleasures of life, such as solving crossword puzzles and savoring scoops of her favorite ice cream, activities that reflected the sweetness and thoughtfulness in her nature.
The void left by Wilma's passing can never be filled, but her spirit will continue to resonate through the countless lives she touched. As we bid her farewell, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of enduring love, unwavering support, and the precious moments that define the essence of family. Rest in peace, dear Wilma; your memory will forever be etched in our hearts.
