Phyllis Sue Johnson

Phyllis Sue Johnson of Eaton Rapids, passed away peacefully on August 2, 2022, at the age of 67. Sue, Sister, Grandma, and Grams (a woman of many names) was born on June 30, 1955, in Martin, KY, the daughter of Phill Newsome and Betty Ruth Dye. She married Paul Johnson in 1972, then moved to Eaton Rapids where she raised her family. Sue loved tending to her flower and vegetable gardens, cooking, baking, vacationing, and hosting family gatherings, where she adored spending time with her family; making sure to photograph each occasion to capture the event, adding them to her wall of cherished photos. Sue was a dedicated mother and grandmother, who especially adored her grandchildren (who helped her start a new hobby of playing Pokémon Go), cherishing the time she spent with all of them. Sue was the light of Paul’s life and the rock of the family and will be deeply missed.
