Obituary for Elmer Wallace Johnson
ALLEN - A WWII vet has graduated to Glory; 96 years old Elmer Wallace Johnson passed away on Sunday night, May 26th, 2019 with his family at his bedside.
Elmer's wife of 68.5 years, passed from this earth on exactly the same day and month, and at almost the same time, only 7 years earlier in 2012.
Elmer leaves behind, to carry on his legacy of integrity and honesty, his two sons, youngest son, Stephen and Judy Johnson of Kemp, Texas and eldest son, Tom and Barbara Johnson of Allen, Texas. He also leaves behind a precious sister-in-law, Marion Causey of Amarillo Texas and a most special and rare close friend, Roland Rodriguez.
Elmer also had prayed for all his grandchildren for many years...as well for his 16 great-grandchildren.
He imprinted the hearts of his grandchildren... Granddaughter, R'lena Johnson Blank and husband, John of Brentwood, Tennessee; granddaughter, Tosha Johnson Petrie of New Orleans, Louisiana, and granddaughter, Samantha Johnson-Burton and husband, Michael of Moore, Oklahoma; he wanted that his grandsons would walk in integrity for grandson, Robert Johnson II and wife, Amy of Midwest City, Oklahoma, and Glen Johnson and wife, Lisa of Fort Worth, Texas, Jennifer and Jerome Kimbrew of Kemp, Texas, and Stephanie Wharton and Lee of Murphy, Texas.
Elmer married the love of his life, Doris in 1943. He was stationed in Washington D.C. with the U.S. Army...then was placed in the Pacific Theatre at a very young age, (The Philippines).
When Elmer and Doris married, she was only 16 years of age; they spent 68.5 years together.
We were already planning Elmer's 100th Birthday party for 2022, as his mother lived to be over 100 years of age and she got a party.
Elmer was simple, humble and the real deal. He spared no punches in telling someone how the cow eats the cabbage. He was drenched in honesty and integrity and if you were a slouch at work, he let you know it.
He was at one time in his life of the Catholic faith and of another church affiliation, but when he moved to Allen, Texas at the age of 89, he became a home-bound favorite to cheer on Meadows Baptist church in his tithes and offerings. He was amazed to hear the life stories we brought home each week. Once we were talking about Zaccheas, that wee little man, and Elmer asked who that was and to tell him the story. He loved to ask Tom open-ended questions about the Bible and its truths.
Elmer retired from the U.S. Postal Service as a letter carrier. It was in his blood. When he moved to Allen, sorting the mail each day was his most important responsibility and calling out whose mail it was.
Elmer was structured and precise, well versed in politics and the nation's news.
He read the morning paper cover to cover and then would walk out to the backyard and watch the 'animal menagerie" he had created, feeding the birds, the squirrels, and the rabbits that came daily. The pest control man 'scolded' as the bird feeders also attracted unwelcome guests and an occasional rodent, but he would nap out back 3-4 hours at a time when it was spring or summer.
Elmer was a simple man and possessed such great humility he never spoke much of WWII. He was a veteran that saw way too much action to speak much of the war. He was honored last year in a ceremony where he was presented. He was truly a hero and an inspiration.
Elmer spent his last days in the care of family and expertise, compassionate care of Heart to Heart Hospice at Home out of Carrollton, Texas. He was given the utmost dignity and tender, loving care, and for these healthcare professionals around the clock the last week was priceless.
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven; a time to be born and a time to die."-Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2
One day closer... See you, Dad.
