Carolyn Jo Johnson

Carolyn Jo Johnson, 70, of Odessa, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026, in Odessa, surrounded by the love of her family.

Visitation will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on April 3, 2026, at Sunset Memorial Funeral Home. Funeral services will take place at 10:00 a.m. on April 4, 2026, at Sunset Memorial Funeral Home, with Pastor Cody Sikes of Renew Life Church officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens.

Jo was born on July 26, 1955, in Kilgore, Texas, to Dillard and Dorothy Fears. She attended Kilgore High School, where she built lifelong friendships and cherished memories. On August 24, 1974, she married the love of her life, Mike Johnson, in Kilgore, beginning a beautiful journey of 52 years filled with love, laughter, and devotion.

Jo dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker, a role she carried with unmatched pride and love. She was the heart and soul of her home—a nurturing, selfless, and deeply devoted mother and grandmother who always put her family first. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joy, and she made sure each of them felt safe, cared for, and unconditionally loved.

She had a special place in her heart for children and was actively involved at Goliad Elementary, where her own children attended school. Jo spent countless hours supporting school activities, working on yearbooks, volunteering with the PTA, and cheering on her children in extracurricular activities. She was always present—encouraging, helping, and celebrating every milestone, big or small.

Jo created a home filled with warmth and comfort. Her grandchildren will always remember the special way she prepared a place just for them—with neatly made beds layered with basic sheets, cozy fleece blankets, heavy comforters, two big pillows, and the familiar hum of a box fan at the foot of the bed. It was her way of making sure everyone felt at home, safe, and deeply loved.

She was truly the glue that held her family together. Jo cherished time spent with her loved ones and made it a priority to bring everyone together, whether through family gatherings or unforgettable trips to Six Flags. She had a remarkable memory and loved sharing stories about family members, keeping traditions and memories alive for generations to come.

Disney World was her home away from home—it was her happy place, where her joy and childlike wonder shined brightest. Those trips created treasured memories that her family will carry with them forever.

Jo is preceded in death by her parents, Dillard and Dorothy Fears; her daughter, Carmen Hinton; and her brother, Billy Buskirk.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, Mike Johnson; her children, Karen Maxwell, Lindsey (Jacob) Chelette, and Branson (Chrystal) Johnson; and her beloved siblings, Becky, Vernon, David, Shirley, and Janice.

She also leaves behind a legacy of love through her 15 cherished grandchildren: Hailey (Kenny), Shena (Michael), Hayden (Tara), Joshua, Chance, Ashlynne (Garrett), Zachary, Briley, Baileigh, Zoe, Braxtyn, Jaxon, Bronx, Avery, and Ceni; and her 7 precious great-grandchildren: Kayson, Paisleigh, Kinley, Rowan, Ella, Bentley, and Layton. Each of them held a special place in her heart, and she took immense pride in watching her family grow.

Pallbearers will be Branson Johnson, Hayden Hinton, Joshua Broyles, Braxtyn Cade, Jaxon Johnson, and Bronx Chelette.

Jo will be remembered for her unwavering love, her generous spirit, her strength, and the beautiful way she cared for everyone around her. She leaves behind a family rooted in love, strengthened by her example, and forever grateful for the life she lived.

We want to give a special thank you to RN Stormi Ramirez with Interim who stepped into our lives at the perfect time.

“Happiness is not the absence of problems; it’s the ability to deal with them.” -Steve Maraboli
