Letitia Annette Moss "Tish" Johnson passed away on December 2, 2018 at her home in Blanco, Texas after a long struggle with the aftermath of cancer treatment. She was born April 3, 1934 in Honey Grove, Texas to Aaron Boyd Moss and Ethel Mae Hastings. She graduated from Bonham High School in 1951 and attended North Texas State University. After graduating from NTSU with an Elementary Education Degree, she married Kenneth Wayne Johnson in Bonham, Texas June 12, 1954. She earned a Master's Degree in Elementary Education at Southwest Texas State University shortly after and began a teaching career that spanned 32 years.
To celebrate their retirement, Ken and Tish settled in Blanco, Texas and traveled the United States, Canada and Europe. Tish volunteered for the Blanco Library, was a member of the Blanco Women's Club, and the Blanco United Methodist Church. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (Llano Chapter), Delta Kappa Gamma, the Red Hat Club, and was a substitute teacher for the Blanco ISD until 2010. She loved to paint, play piano, sew, travel, birds, and was an avid reader.
She is preceded in death by her parents, son Michael Wayne Johnson, and sister Myra Fay Piland. She is survived by husband, Kenneth Wayne Johnson of Blanco; son Gregory Wayne Johnson, (Sandra Moser Johnson) of Las Cruces, New Mexico; daughter Karan Kay Johnson (Sienna Rivers) of Houston, Texas; daughter Elizabeth Johnson Reno, (James Reno) of Blanco, Texas; sister Rose Marie Young (Randy Young) of Azle, Texas; sister Carolyn Joy Van Zandt (James Van Zandt) of Round Rock; 5 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, nephews, nieces and scores of friends, extended family, and former students.
Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. and funeral will begin at 1:00 p.m., Thursday, December 6. Both services will be at the Blanco United Methodist church . Interment will follow at the San Saba City Cemetery in San Saba, Texas at 4:00 p.m. The family requests memorials to the Friends of the Blanco Library, the American Cancer Society, and the American Glaucoma Society in lieu of plants and flowers.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Heart To Heart Hospice, Jodi Brock-Bates, Veronica Castillo, and the readers from the Blanco Women's Club for their wonderful attention and care for our mother, as well as the many people who have prayed and supported her and our family. We know that she is free, and suffers no more. We take comfort knowing she is with those who went before her and rests in the arms of Jesus Christ.
