Obituary of Shanna LeeGail Johnson

Shanna LeeGail Tallent Johnson, 45, of Hixson passed away on Monday, October 24, 2022 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Shanna was a medical assistant at CHI Memorial Infectious Disease Associates, attended Freedom Church, and was a Girl Scout Troop Leader for many years. She had the biggest heart, tenderness for the homeless, and loved all animals, especially her 3 fur babies, Jed, Abi, and George. She enjoyed traveling, especially to New Orleans, where she planned to retire one day. She was an excellent cook and brought lots of smiles at Christmas by gifting Elvis Presley’s pound cakes to many people. After her diagnosis, Shanna would offer to make a free banana pudding to anyone who would willingly get a colonoscopy, as saving others became a passion to her. She was preceded in death by her special aunt, Bobbie Rucks. Leaving behind to cherish her memories are her husband, Ken Johnson; daughter, Gracen (Jonathan Carr) Bush; mother, Julia Sannes (Tony) Kubik; her loving brother, Derick Tallent who cherished her since the day she was born; grandmother, Jessie Ray Harvey Mincey, and special cousin Patty Ricketts Hawkins. A service to celebrate Shanna’s life will be held at 5PM on Friday, October 28, 2022 in the funeral home chapel with Pastor Michael Battles officiating. The family will receive friends from 3PM until the time of the service at the funeral home. Memorial Contributions may be made in her name to Villalobos Rescue Center at vcrpitbull.com.
