Jennifer Ann Johnston died peacefully, after a sudden illness, on August 9th, 2017 in Houston, Texas at the age of 38, surrounded by family and friends.
Jennifer is survived by Mother, Linda Johnston of League City, Tx; Son, Tyler Joseph Broussard, 17, Daughter, Zoe Katelynn Smith, 12, both of League City, Tx, Zoe's father, Shane Smith, of College Station, TX, and mother-in-law Mary Conley and her husband Jim.
She is preceded in death by her father, Malcolm Johnston, Grandparents Joseph and Dorothy Cielinski, Grandparents Dick Johnston, Sr. and Anna Mae Johnston, and friends Julie Broussard and Edith Parsley.
Additional family members include her Aunt Gale Cielinski of the Woodlands, Texas, her Aunt Audrey Kessler and Uncle David Kessler of Kent, Ohio; her Aunt Loretta and Uncle John Dahmus of Austin, Texas; Cousins Lisa Dahmus of Morristown, New Jersey; Teresa Wohlers and husband Travis of Austin, Texas and Maria Kim and husband Matthew of Minneapolis, Minnesota and sister, Crystal Wagner Underwood of Texarkana, Texas.
Jennifer was born on September 29, 1978 in Houston, Texas to Linda and Malcolm Johnston. Jennifer grew up in Cove, Texas on the 6-acre family home and considered herself a tomboy who preferred to play in the mud rather than with dolls. She enjoyed riding the tractor with her father while helping him plant the garden and couldn’t wait to pick the vegetables during harvest season. She also loved running and playing with her three chow dogs, Hawg, Wolf and King.
She graduated from Lee College with an Associate’s Degree in Paralegal Studies and Business. Jennifer enjoyed crafting, baking, cooking and dancing. She loved floating the Frio River, cheering on her favorite football team, the Houston Texans, and she loved playing with our dog Doodle. She was a friend to many and known as a free spirit. Jennifer had an uncanny sense of humor and took joy in making people laugh.
She was a creative, tenacious, loving and kind individual who loved her children and encouraged them to follow their dreams and pursue their goals. Jennifer was an active and dedicated member of the parent’s organization at her son's school the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas serving as Vice President. She was also often seen in the crowd at many of her daughter’s cheer competitions as a spirit supporter. Tyler and Zoe will remember her as an outgoing, bubbly, fun-loving mother with a beautiful soul and smile.
Jennifer was loved by many and will never be forgotten. Heaven gained an angel and a hero. As an organ donor, Jennifer donated her heart valves, liver and kidneys. Her liver was donated to a 57 year old man. He lives because of her courage and generosity, as will the final recipient of her kidneys. Her heart valves will be used to help children with heart defects.
Services will be held at Navarre Funeral Home at 2444 Rollingbrook Drive, Baytown, Texas on Friday, August 11, 2017. Viewing will be from 12 noon until 2 pm. Service at the funeral home chapel will begin at 2 pm, followed by burial at Tilton Cemetery in Cove, Texas. Dr. Steve Laufer from University Baptist Church will officiate the ceremony. A reception will follow at The Woods’ family residence at 857 Crystal Bay Lane, League City, Texas. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Jennifer’s life. Condolences can be sent to Linda Johnston at 2987 Rising Tide Lane, League City, Texas 77573. Pallbearers will be Tyler Broussard, Will Fast, Logan Woods, Andrew Brown, Zane Robinson and Raymond Delling.
The family would like to thank the staff at Houston Methodist Hospital, specifically the doctors and nurses of the Neurology Intensive Care Unit, for their tireless care and kindness during Jennifer’s illness. We would also like to thank the staff of LifeGift, who coordinated the organ donation process, and also to the many family and friends for their constant love and support during this difficult time.
