Kathleen Thompson Johnson, age 64, of Granite Falls left this world for her heavenly home on Tuesday, July 3, 2018 at Catawba Regional Hospice. She was born on August 12, 1953 in Cherokee County, NC, the daughter of the late Fred Russell and Lois Burgess Thompson.

She enjoyed spending time with her husband especially traveling and going to the Outer Banks. She was a big animal lover and enjoyed sewing and had sold hand crafted tiny doll outfits worldwide.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 44 years Lonnie Ray Johnson; her chihuahua “Chipper” of 6 years who was her “little boy”; brother Charles Thompson; mother-n-law Agnes Johnson; sister-in-law Merylin Davis & husband Kenneth; along with a number of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
