Jeanette Paula Johnson, 66, of Fayetteville, passed away at her home on July 31, 2020. She was born November 21, 1953 in Hawthorn, California to Irene Kerr White and Johnny JR White.
She was preceded in death by both parents; two brothers, Johnny and Ronnie; and a sister, Laura.
She was a devoted wife to Stanley E. Johnson for 50 years. Together, they had two sons, Stanley Eugene Johnson Jr. and Tommy Dean Johnson. Jeanette recently retired after working faithfully for Walmart, as a pharmacy tech, for 25 years.
Jeanette is survived by her husband, Stan, of the home; her son, Gene and his wife, Taylor of Fayetteville; her son, Dean and his wife, Jenny of Winslow; one sister, Vicki Stroud of Minco, OK; two grandsons, Corey Johnson of Fort Smith and Mitchell Johnson of Winslow; and four granddaughters, Emmie Draeger of Saint Petersburg, FL, Sarah Johnson of Winslow, Grace Johnson of Fayetteville and Helen “HJ” Johnson of Fayetteville.
Jeanette loved to go fishing and being on the boat with Stan. She also loved any opportunity to celebrate, no matter the occasion! She loved her family fiercely and loved her Lord and Savior above all.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 PM on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 at Beard’s Chapel.
Funeral services will be 10:00 AM Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at Black Oak Baptist Church, 16009 Black Oak Rd, Fayetteville, AR 72701 with Pastor Bob Headrick officiating. Interment will follow in Kings Cemetery under the direction of Beard’s Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Black Oak Baptist Church (address above).
Jeanette was a wonderful servant of the Lord. She will be sorely missed at Black Oak Baptist Church. I think the first words she said when she entered the pearly gates was, “whoohoo!” and then she started gathering up the children. 🙂
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
Our prayers are with you as a family during this time of loss.
Stan And Family , I still can’t believe she is gone. She was such a free spirit she made us laugh so many times. She will be missed
Jeanette was definitely always ready to celebrate “anything “. She loved the Lord very deeply and loved her fellow co-workers, even in the very stressful times. She was always quick to find a reason to say “woohoo”.
My sincerest condolences to Stanley and all her loved ones.
Now at peace with Jesus 🙏
Jeanette and I worked together as Pharmacy Technicians at the Walmart Super Center. Jeanette was always ready to celebrate anything! She loved fishing, her Grandchildren and Children dearly, but she had a very deep, sincere love for Jesus Christ.
My sincerest condolences to her husband Stanley, her children and Grandchildren. She enjoyed them immensely and loved spoiling them.
She is at home and at peace with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m certain all of Heaven heard a loud Woo Hoo upon her arrival.
I am still in such a state of shock that she is gone. We have only known her seven years but we have spent five Christmases together and been together multiple times when she and Stan visited Floridia. She was an amazing loving person with an endless amount of energy. Who loved her family unconditionally.
I send my condolences to Stanley and the entire family. May God bless you all and give you comfort.

OMG, my heart is hurting so much for Jeanette and her family! I worked with Jeanette at Walmart Pharmacy for ten years. She made my days there enjoyable and we had many laughs and talks. I can’t say enough about her she was one of a kind and will miss seeing her and hearing her voice. God Bless All Of You and my Dear Friend!!!
Jeanette and I worked together at Walmart here and there over past 20 years but here regularly recently until retirement. The days at the pharmacy were always better and brighter knowing she was there. She served her customers with respect and best service always. She gave us a woohoo and always sent you away with a “have a great day, great week” goodbye.
GOD IS GAINING A BEAUTIFUL SOUL!
Love, Jennifer
