Interment will immediately follow the service in Murphy Creek Cemetery. Betty was born in Winston County on February 8, 1928, to Gus and Effie Rogers Bouchillon. She was a member of Crystal Ridge Baptist Church. Betty loved music, enjoyed reading, and she always looked forward to cooking for and spending time with her family. For 28 years, she worked at Spartus Corporation. She was a hard worker; not only working a full-time job at Spartus, but like so many, she would come home to gardening and canning duties. Betty, an avid Atlanta Braves fan, enjoyed watching them play. She was described by so many to her family as a sweet, patient lady. Betty is survived by her son Johnny D. Johnson and wife Arlene of Louisville, daughter Nez Loyd also of Louisville; and her daughter-in-law Susan Partridge Johnson of Macon, Georgia. One of her greatest joys was being “Mamaw” to her five grandchildren: Jennifer (Kyle) Drennan, Wesley Loyd, Brandi Shea (Stosh) Sury, Justin (Ashley) Johnson, and Brittney (Shawn) Carter. She also dearly loved her seven great-grandchildren: Kirby Stringfellow, Owen Stringfellow, Emily Loyd, Kinsley Johnson, Cole Johnson, Zoey Carter, and Dylan Carter. Betty also leaves behind her sister Bonnie Inez Ferguson as well as a host of loving nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband James Henry Johnson, son Clyde Johnson, daughter Evelyn Johnson, and siblings: Jimmy Gus Bouchillon and Jewell Bouchillon. Serving as pallbearers are Wesley Loyd, Justin Johnson, Shawn Carter, Kyle Drennan, Kirby Stringfellow, Owen Stringfellow, Randy Bouchillon, Walter Ferguson, and Danny Robertson. Honorary pallbearers are Stosh Sury, Wayne Clark, Perry Hemphill, Donnie Hisaw, and Mike Robertson. Memorial contributions in honor of Betty may be given to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital online at stjude.org/memorials or to Crystal Ridge Baptist Church, c/o Linda Robertson, 2320 Crystal Ridge Road, Louisville, MS 39339.
