Kathy was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, known for her warm heart and unwavering spirit. Throughout her life, she touched the lives of many with her kindness and compassion. An active member of her community, she was always willing to lend a helping hand and share her infectious laughter.
Kathy married the love of her life, Gerald Johnson, Sr., on December 11, 1971, in Houston, Texas, after a very short engagement. They celebrated 50 wonderful years together before Gerald's passing in 2022. A testament to the deep bond they shared. Together, they raised two sons, Gerald Johnson Jr. and Matthew Johnson. Both sons grew up to be in law enforcement.
Kathy graduated from Milby High School in 1970 and retired from the Kerr County Central Appraisal District in 2021.
She is survived by her son, Gerald Johnson Jr., and his wife Elizabeth; daughter-in-law, Shelli Johnson; sister, Colleen Meadows; grandsons, William ''Seth'' Johnson, Tyler and Caleb Tippit, Gavin Vandegrift and his wife Heritage; and great-grandchildren, Errin Johnson, Kohen Tippit, Grayson, Brody, Noelle Vandegrift, and Eden Stewart, all of whom will cherish her memory and carry on her legacy of love.
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gerald Johnson, Sr.; and son, Matthew Johnson.
Kathy will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her vibrant spirit and the love she shared with all who knew her.
A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, January 11, 2025, at Grimes Funeral Chapels in Kerrville.

Mrs. Johnson was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known and she was always very positive. I went to school with both Matt and Jerry in Ingram. I offer my condolences and keep your family in prayers for comfort and healing during this difficult time.

Mr and Mrs Johnson were two of my absolute favorite patients. It has been years ago but I still have so many fond memories of our visits. I imagine she missed Mr. Johnson dearly as well as her son. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My sweet and dear friend. I worked with Kathy for 7 years. Side by side, day by day. We became good friends and went through sorrow and joy together. We celebrated the good times and cried together many times. After I moved away I saw her a couple times and she always had that smile, the one we all know.
I’ll miss your presence my friend. Prayers for Seth, Jerald and all the family.

Kathy will be missed by many. I only met her a couple of years ago but felt like I've known her for a very long time. She is Andrew's (my son-in-laws) aunt. Kathy was a very kind hearted person and my grandson Wyatt loved to spend time with her. Wyatt loved going to church and spending time with his aunt Kathy and Coleen.
