Kathy Lou Johnson, age 67, passed away on August 7, 2022, beloved daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Preceded in death by her parents Ralph O. Johnson and Lilas M. Johnson and sister Janice Montgomery. Survived by sister, Sharon Hyland and nieces Heather Hyland and Hillary Hyland; nephew Todd Montgomery and wife Ashley and daughters Alexis and Brinkley; nephew Terry Montgomery and daughters Montana, Mayson, and Mykal. Kathy graduated from Sam Houston State University and was a member of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority.
Kathy loved music, dancing, and spending time with her dear friends in Texas (Sabrina, Melany, Andrea, Joan, Mary, and Anita) and Bay High friends on Zoom. She had a contagious laugh and great sense of humor, her vivacious personality and charm made her the center of attention, which she happily embraced. Any time spent with her family and many cousins was precious to her, especially making memories with her nieces and nephews.
Kathy’s resilience and strength impressed all who knew her as she continued to work full time as a Special Education Teacher’s Aide in several Alief ISD elementary schools while valiantly battling cancer. She was a beautiful shining light and effervescent force of nature, always quick with a smile and compliment for all she met. She will be deeply missed.
A memorial service will be held August 20, 2022, at 10 am in the Crematorium Chapel at Rosewood Funeral Home 2602 S. Houston Ave. Humble, TX 77396.
