Ms. Johnson is survived by her loving sisters and brothers; Dan Johnson of Pioneer, CA. and wife Ruby, Mary Jane Bartko and husband Jim of Oregon, Pat Fontes of Manteca, and Jerry Johnson of Danville. She adored her nieces and nephews as she thought of them as her own children; Bobby Johnson, Debbie Hillman, Jim and Eileen Bartko, Kim and Keith Abel and Jennifer and Mason Settlemore.

She was a charter member of the Red Hat Society with the “Red H-Attitudes.” She enjoyed spending time in her yard, tending to each flower. Her Golden Retriever/ Sheppard mixed dog “Spooner” was her very special companion; he was always at her side. Norma was the best aunt and sister anyone could ever wish for. She always had a very special way of making each and every one of her nieces and nephews feel as if they were her one and only. Norma will be remembered as an amazing sister, a wonderful aunt and a very special friend to many. She will be missed.
