Willie Mae Johnson finally got her wish to go to Heaven and be with her Jesus, June 20, 2017.

Willie Mae had a long and fruitful life. She was a native of Pitkin, LA. and lived in the Lake Charles and Sulphur, LA area for 50+ years.

Willie Mae spent her last six years happily in Spring, TX near family whom she enjoyed, and delighted her to watch. Her greatest joy was when her family visited. Some of her most memorable times were when the family gathered for her birthday celebrations. Close to 95 years of life, she enjoyed many birthday parties. Her friends at Paradise Springs, where she lived, christened her the Gumbo Queen. We, her family and friends bid her farewell until united again in Heaven.
