Carolyn was born in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1949, to Clyde Aaron and Dorothy Edith Lee Fleeman, of Red Oak, Texas.
She graduated from Red Oak High School, where she played basketball, was on the drill team, and had many friends who loved and adored her, many of whom she stayed in touch with her entire life.
She had a beautiful singing voice. She played piano and sang in church on a regular basis growing up and oftentimes, sang at friend's and family's weddings.
Carolyn married Larry Johnson on January 19, 1979. Carolyn and Larry owned and operated a watch dial refinishing company for nearly 30 years, named Southern Dial, that they took over from her mother. Their company was considered the best in the business.
Carolyn had a passion for reading, cooking, bird watching, traveling, and more importantly, her family. She was a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ and shared that faith with her children.
Carolyn and Larry loved to travel to The Great Smoky Mountains every year, staying in Gatlinburg, TN. She loved the beautiful mountains, peaceful streams and the occasional black bear sitting. She also loved a good adventure and went white water rafting many times.
Holidays were always made very special for the family because Carolyn would go all out cooking and baking everyone's favorite dishes and desserts. She was an EXCELLENT cook!
Carolyn was a devoted wife who loved Larry with all her heart. They were smitten with each other from the moment they met and that never changed. She was a loving mother, who was always there for her children to support them and guide them through life with compassion, understanding, and lots of laughs.
Carolyn's laugh was contagious and her smile lit up the room. She enjoyed being silly and playful with everyone, especially with her grandson, Jamie. He was the light of her life.
