Her kindness to others and her positive outlook on life exemplified her Christian life.

Brent McCallister and wife Diana of Altamonte Springs, FL, brother Jim Johnson of West Palm Beach, FL, grandchildren Jason (Sandy) McCallister , Jeremy (Tara) McCallister, Todd Coleman, Leslie Shreve (Don), Christina Salisbury (Jerry), Stacie Webb (Brandon) and nine great-grandchildren.
