Kathleen Johnson of Blackwell, Oklahoma, passed away Monday morning, March 18, 2019, in Blackwell Oklahoma, at the age of 87 years.
Kathleen Johnson was born on August 5, 1931 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma to George W. Brooks and Eunice Agnes (North) Brooks. She graduated from Seminole High School in 1949. Following school, Kathleen worked for Southwestern Bell in Oklahoma City. In the early 1950’s, she moved to Blackwell - continuing her work with Southwestern Bell as a Switchboard Operator, and later working in the Business Office. She met her late husband Jerry J. Johnson on his 23rd birthday. They were engaged in six weeks and married in three months. Together they had three sons, Harold, Mike and Steve.
