LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – It is with great sadness that the family of Wendi Johnson announces her passing after a long fight with cancer on Saturday, June 1, 2019, at the age of 52 years.
She was born Sept. 3, 1966, in Santa Clara, to Robert and Kathleen Fulwider. She was a 1984 graduate of Santa Clara high school and moved to Lake County in 1986.
Wendi truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures: chatting with friends and family, baking and spending time with her grandchildren. Some of her favorite times out and about were to watch her grandchildren in sports and her trips to Reno with her husband.
Wendi will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 31 years, Jay Johnson; and her children, Ricky (Katie), Brittney (Joe), Ashley (Matt) and Jacob. Wendi will also be fondly remembered by her four grandchildren, Dakotah, Brealynn, Hali and Colten.
A celebration of life in memory of Wendi will be held on Saturday, June 22, at 2 p.m. at Mt. Konocti Winery, 2550 Big Valley Road, Lakeport.

She grew up in the same house until she met and married her handsome sailor, Barry W. Johnson, from Oklahoma in 1961.
She passed on May 28, 2019, surrounded by her loved ones.
She had a career that she really enjoyed as a school bus driver in the Bay Area. Virginia and Barry retired in Lakeport in the early 1990s.

She is survived by her husband, Barry; brother, Stanley; two children, Denise and David (Carrie) Johnson; six grandchildren, Jessica (Brandon) Leathers, David, Patrick, Jesse, Serena and Bella Johnson; and two great-grandchildren, Clarity and James Leathers.
Virginia enjoyed traveling, cruises and RVing with the Rambling Elks RVers. She enjoyed cooking and spending time and caring for her family. She loved the many pets she had throughout her life.
She was a beautiful and loving soul that was taken way too soon and will be greatly missed forever.
