Thea Marie Johnson

Thea Marie (Forney) Johnson. Age 55. Yucca Valley, California.

Our beloved sister Thea was born on December 13, 1967, in National City, California to Janet L. Hageman (Jackson) and passed on April 21, 2023. Thea loved the sunny California weather with its beautiful sunsets, walking with Brian and their dogs, most importantly it gave her the year-round opportunity to serve Jehovah God and her life-long ministry work. Through her ministry, she was able to help others by sharing a rare love for all without judgement, but rather provide words of encouragement, a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and offer a helping hand to anyone in need. Thea was one of the most kind and caring souls to bless this earth - a true servant of God.

Our sister's love for animals was just as strong as it was her love for people. Adopting rescue dogs and giving them a safe harbor to grow, feel free and loved. Everyone who knew Thea loved her infectious laugh, funny sayings like "shut the front door", "what the beavis", and "you're a pumpkin head" were all expressions of love and terms of endearment. To all her dear friends, know she thought of you often and truly loved you and your families.

She also loved country music, taking cruises, watching movies that made her laugh, cry and be scared, hanging out with friends and family, sharing a good meal, and reminiscing.

She is survived by her brothers, Ray (Sheila) Forney, Rodger (Christina) Salinas, and sister Tracy (Nate) Maurer and ex-husband, Brian Johnson. She had special love for all her nieces and nephews: Dustin, Brooklynn, Randi, Seth, Garrett, Evan, Brady, Tori, Logan, and Grayson. Great nieces and nephews: Haven, Jax, Braylin, Mason, Brylee, Elliot, Naomi, Remi, and Tripp. Thea was preceded in death by her mother, Janet L. Hageman (Jackson).

Our beautiful sister left this earth way too soon as she still had so much love to give and life to live. You will be so, so missed, but for as long as there is a memory you will live in our hearts forever.

Per her wishes, Thea was cremated, and a private Celebration of Life will be held later.

Love always, your family.
