Nellie Sue Johnson

February 15, 1938 - April 24, 2022

Nellie Sue Johnson of Bryan, Texas died on April 24, 2022, after a lengthy illness, surrounded by her loving family. She was 84 years of age.

Sue was born in Stilwell, Oklahoma on the 15th of February 1938 to Floyd and Cozy Cain.

She was a kind, wise and loving person, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. As a homemaker, she raised her daughter and son through their high school years in North Shore, a suburb of Houston, Texas. And later, Sue and Cecil managed their Lazy J cattle ranch in Caldwell, Texas which became a home away from home for the family. There, Sue would host numerous family holiday gatherings, as well as special events promoting the Limousin cattle industry. One of her favorite past times, other than her family, was creating beautiful porcelain dolls which she sold at various craft shows and charity events. And the dolls that she gave to her grandchildren will always provide them with cherished memories of their "Nana".

Sue was a member of First Bryan Baptist Church and dedicated her time and talents to several community and charitable organizations, including: Life Member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the President of the Caldwell Women's Lions Club, and a volunteer for the Caldwell Christian Care Ministry.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 65 years, Cecil Johnson; daughter Dana Sarles, son Christopher Johnson and their spouses; five grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and a brother. She was preceded in death by eight siblings.

Visitation will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm on Thursday, April 28th at Hillier Funeral Home in College Station, 4080 Highway 6 South, College Station, TX 77845, and a Celebration of her Life will take place at First Bryan Baptist Church at 11 am on Friday, April 29th. Interment services will be held privately for the immediate family.

In lieu of customary remembrances, and for those who so choose, the family requests that memorial contributions in Sue's name be directed to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
