She worked at multiple medical offices over the span of 50+ years. She loved the work she did over that time, and made many acquaintences, and friendships.

She leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory, including her devoted husband, Willie L. Johnson Jr.; her children, William "Billy" Johnson (Kara), Scott Johnson (Altee), and John "JJ" Johnson (Anjanette); her siblings, Arthur Hoffmann (Janis), Margaret Dubuisson, Hyacinth Serpas (Valance) and her sister-in-law Mildred Hoffmann; her beloved grandchildren, Jamilynne, Madeleine, Sidney, Abigail, Harper, and Sterling.

Edna lived life with warmth, laughter, and a deep love for family and friendship. In 1980, she was Queen of Gladiators Carnival Group. She was also an active member of the Shangri-La Carnival Group. She enjoyed participating in numerous softball and bowling leagues, where she formed many lifelong friendships.

In her free time, Edna loved playing Keno, cards, and a variety of games with her family and friends. She also enjoy the "girls" trips she took with her sisters, cousins, and friends. Her joyful spirit, quick smile, and love of gathering with those she cared about created countless treasured memories that will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Edna's legacy is one of love, devotion to family, and the happiness she brought to others. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered with love.
