Lela Johnson
January 30, 1930 — May 3, 2020
A precious one from us has gone, a voice we love is stilled, a place is vacant in our home which cannot be filled.
On May 3, 2020 Lela Johnson with her GPS took her final flight to heaven to bring even more beauty and joy to God's garden. She was greeted at the gates of Heaven by Jesus and her beloved Larry.
A service was held on May 7, 2020 at Lucas Funeral Home in Hurst. You may watch the recorded service here: https://youtu.be/EttDY1_4Sgw
Lela was born to Edgar and Elsie Smith on January 30, 1930. She grew up on a farm in Western Kansas and had a very happy childhood. She was nurtured and taught many things that helped her in her daily life.
Her travels were many. She loved the military and the life that it provided. She lived in Germany where she worked at the Palace of Justice and England where she worked in a Danish bacon factory. When her and Larry retired, they had the opportunity to travel to China, Tibet, Hawaii and Alaska. There were helicopter rides, hot air balloon rides and many vacations across the United States. Her and Larry's travels were many and since she was a history buff they stopped at all the historical sites.
She graduated from Draughn's business college and went on to have a successful career as a legal secretary retiring from the City of Fort Worth. She had many talents and loved to decorate her home. She also loved to scrapbook and has many albums about her and Larry's many travels and experiences.
She will see you in heaven if God permits.
Lela is preceded in death by her beloved Larry, her mother, father and one sister Zelda Dean.
Survivors: Four children Nancy Matheny (Dan), Marsha Mathews (Mike), Randy Holden (Ronda) and Vicki McNeill; Nine grandchildren David Matheny, Sam Matheny, Katrina Shaffer, Jennifer Mathews-Lucas, Justin Mathews, Andy Matheny, Monica McNeill, Ashley Gripp and Sonja Jordan; Three step children Wade Johnson, Kari Johnson and Anita Luchsinger; Nine step grandchildren Bailey Johnson, Shelby Johnson, Katlin Glen, China Luchsinger, Carty Luchsinger, Daniell Johnson and Drew Ann Johnson; Twenty Great Grandchildren.
