Frances F Johnson

Mrs. Frances F. Johnson, 85, of Canoochee, passed away Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin while surrounded by her family. Mrs. Frances was born June 2, 1939, to the late Joe E. Farmer and Ida Mae Faircloth Farmer. She is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Kathy Youngblood.

Mrs. Frances was a 1959 graduate of Swainsboro High School.  Her first job was at Powell Smith Hospital in Swainsboro when she was only a teenager as a nursing assistant. Here is where she would meet and eventually marry the love of her life. She was working at Public Finance in Swainsboro when she married on September 11, 1960. Soon after, she took a break from employment in 1962 to start a family. She returned to the workforce in the early 1970s after her youngest daughter started school by taking a job at Sears in Swainsboro. Years later she took a job with the Dept of Labor in Statesboro and retired from this job January 1, 2002.

 She was quite an accomplished sketcher and watercolor artist.  She drew freehand and then would paint the art on canvas or saw blades. Her favorite objects to sketch were barns and old houses. She also enjoyed working in her flower beds, especially her daylilies.

She loved her God and depended on his guidance and strength. Her family was her everything and she always wanted them near to her.  Mrs. Frances was a member of Hebron Primitive Baptist Church.

She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Billy J. Johnson of Canoochee; daughters, Lisa J. Peebles of Canoochee, Sandi Dixon (Kenny) of Dublin; brother, Donnie Joe Farmer (Gwen) of Kemp; grandchildren, Wesley Peebles (Sierra) of Wilmington Island, Dylan Dixon of Dublin, and Dana Collier (Kole) of Macon; several nieces, nephews and many friends.
