On January 11, 1922 she was married to James Lee Johnson of the Hazelgreen community. They were married 63 years and their home has always been around the hazel green or Richland area.
Dick and Lola had four children, two of them preceding her in death. They were Robert Lee, who died in infancy and James Richard, who passed away in May of 1983. She is survived by her loving husband, Dick of the home; a daughter, Bonnie Dickinson of Overland Park, Kansas, and Donna Krutsinger of Joplin, Missouri; 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren; sister, Clara Gibson of Richland, Missouri; several nieces, nephews and cousins, who were very dear to her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters, Ollie Gallion, Della Harper, Effie Alice Drennan; brother Lilburn Drennan, and grandson, Craig Krutsinger.
Lola’s life was centered in God, her family, and her church. She was a quiet and gentle lady with a strong belief in God. She was a tower of strength to her family, always steady, always the same, with a patient and positive attitude toward life.
Lola loved children and for years helped with Vacation Bible School and taught the Beginners Sunday School Class. She had been the Sunday School secretary of Independence Baptist Church for the last 30 years.
Lola was a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother and her family will never be the same without her. Their loss is Heaven’s gain.
Funeral services were held from the Independence Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. Friday, April 19, 1985 with Rev. Raymond McClary and Rev. Rainey Fann officiating.
Burial was in the Hazelgreen Cemetery under the direction of the Colonial Funeral Chapel.
