Geraldine (Hathaway) Johnson

Geraldine Johnson

Geraldine Johnson was born on November 29, 1926 to Leonard J. Hathaway and Claylee (Jones) Lewis.  She attended school in the Kansas City, Kansas School District.

Her marriage to Melvern Miller took her to Wichita, Kansas, where she stayed for many years.  After moving back to Kansas City, Kansas she became a member of the Eastern Star.

Geraldine’s passion was cooking, something that she learned from her mother.  They spent many years working in restaurants serving delicious meals to diners and also family members.

Later in life, she met and married DeWitt Johnson.  That marriage was dissolved.  After that she stayed in Kansas City, Kansas caring for her mother until she passed away.

In 2002, she moved to Medicalodge Post-Acute Care Center when her own health became such that she couldn’t care for herself.  She passed away on Thursday, January 5, 2017.

Her cousins will cherish her memory.

“Peace I give Unto You”

God saw the road was getting tough,

the hill was hard to climb. He gently closed

those loving eyes and whispered

“Peace Be Thine”

The weary hours, the days of pain,

the sleepless nights are passed

The ever-patient worn out frame has found

Sweet rest at last. God saw that you were getting

 weary, so he did what he knew best

he came and stood beside you and whispered

“Come and Rest”
