After High School, she married the love of her life, Douglas Brown Johnson and traveled to Germany by herself to be with her husband as he served in the US Army. When Douglas completed his service, they settled down on the Johnson Family Land in Lillington, NC. They enjoyed participating in square dancing clubs, church events, family gatherings and spending time with their son.
