A tribute to my grandmother she was a very strong, smart and stubborn women. Some of my fondest childhood memories spent with my grandmother were going to the zoo and park, strawberry picking, enjoying trips to the tea house and lake. The Santa clause parade during the winter was our tradition. She always had a way of making simple moments meaningful. She imparted her pragmatic wisdom on investing and the value about being a collector of fine china. She collected fine china designed by my ancestors that were family heirloom English Wedgewood Indian tree pattern. She shared stories about the royal roots and the Johnson family crest and coat of arms, along with our tartans. The family crest with the lions symbolizing courage and strength, the crowns for loyalty and honor and the mottos of preparedness, perseverance, truth and faith. She was multi-talented and knitted us gorgeous traditional cable knit english sweaters with matching sets for our barbie dolls. We will miss and love you forever Grandma XXOO - Posted by: Darcee McJannet (Granddaughter) on: May 07, 2026
