Barbara Johnson Obituary

Barbara Johnson, age 78 of Kentwood, passed away peacefully and entered into her heavenly home on Friday, October 25, 2024. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Ellen Hayes. Barbara is survived by her children, Scott Johnson (Brooke Zeller), Jeffrey (Regan) Johnson, Jennifer (Mark) Thrash, Todd Johnson; 10 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; and special friends Betty and David Deans.

She grew up in Ludington and held a special place in her heart for the USS Badger, which her father worked on. Barbara enjoyed being creative, whether she was scrapbooking, rubber stamping, or crafting. She was an amazing cook and was well known for her baked beans. Barbara loved worship music, and liked to listen to her favorite band, the Gaithers.

Funeral services will be held at 11am on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at Roth-Gerst Funeral Home, 305 N. Hudson, Lowell, MI 49331, with visitation one hour prior. Pastor Lee Taylor officiating.

Prayers for all who grieve the passing of Barb, particularly her offspring, grandkids and great grandkids.

I remember her well from my family´s work at the church in Custer and throughout the years.

I worked with Barb at Words of Hope. She always had a smile and was a dedicated worker and Christian. I am sorry to hear about her passing but she is enjoying her heavenly home.

So sorry to hear of Barb's passing. I knew Barb as I was growing up and lived in Ludington as we both were members of the same church and had many of the same friends. We both left for college and settled in the Grand Rapids area raising our families near there. Please accept our sympathy and may the Lord wrap His Loving arms around you as a family as you go thru this difficult time.
Sincerely Karen (Hulth) Doornbos
