One of her other favorite past times was dancing with Don in their square dance club, The Kissin Kuzzins. Johnnie was a member of South Garland Baptist Church and enjoyed the friends and fellowship she found there. She never met a stranger and would strike up a conversation with anyone that crossed her path. Her sweet smile would light up a room and her sense of humor and infectious laugh were contagious.
