Jacqueline Johnson

Jacqueline (Jackie) Johnson, age 84, of Cheyenne died peacefully in her sleep and into the arms of her Heavenly Father on September 12, 2022. She was born July 31, 1938 in McGraws, West Virginia to her loving parents, George and Opal Flynn. After graduating from high school, she moved with her family to Cheyenne where she met and married her beloved husband, Larry Johnson, on March 11, 1959. They were married for 59 wonderful years until his death in 2018.
During their marriage they lived in many places and experienced many adventures due to Larry’s service in the military but decided that Cheyenne was where they wanted to be after Larry’s retirement from the Air Force. Jackie retired from Memorial Hospital in Cheyenne after 20 years of faithful service as a respected CNA on the night shift. Jackie and Larry enjoyed traveling together in their fifth wheel, especially to Branson, Missouri. They were fans of traditional country music and loved listening to the Grand Ole Opry and watching RFD TV. Family was everything and they enjoyed being with their kids and grand kids whenever possible. Jackie will be remembered for her kind spirit, her generosity, and loving ways towards others. She always put others before herself and had a way of making you feel special and loved.
Left to cherish their memories of Jackie (and Larry) are sons Darryl (Patricia) Johnson from Florida, David (Trudy) Johnson from Cheyenne; daughter Reba (Terry) McLane from Texas; nine grand kids; ten great grand kids; one great-great grandchild; siblings Tom (Betty Sue) Flynn of Alaska and Judy (Wayne) Captain of Cheyenne; sisters-in-law Sheryl Flynn of TN and Shirley Johnson of WA; brother-in-law Stan Johnson of Iowa; many nieces and nephews; and special friends Jodie and Deana.
She was proceeded in death by her adoring husband Larry Johnson; parents George and Opal Flynn; siblings Betty Jo Ehlers and James Flynn; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Gerald and Betty Johnson; sister-in-law Patti Johnson; and grandson Hunter Johnson. No doubt, a beautiful family reunion is happening in Heaven.
