Vernell is survived by her son, Freddie Johnson and wife Paula (Wellman) Johnson of Quitman, daughter Shelba Jean (Johnson) Turner and husband Rev. Sam Turner of Greenbrier. She is also survived by seven grandchildren: Terry Johnson, Caleb Johnson, Tammy Rawe, Stacy Johnson, Rev.

For the first seventeen years of her life, Vernell lived in the house she was born in. She then married and moved to the Centerville Community, where she resided most of her life. Her life’s goals were to live as a Christian, to put God first in her life, and to raise her family up in church, with strong values and morals. She truly accomplished those things! She loved worshipping God, attending her church and it’s activities, and watching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren participate in those activities. She has been a member of the Foothills Faith Tabernacle Church for the past twenty-nine years. She loved singing gospel songs and had a beautiful alto voice. She has now joined her dear husband in God’s choir!
Pallbearers are: Terry Johnson, Caleb Johnson, Jonathan Turner, Wesley Turner, Mickey Johnson, Ben Johnson, and Bob McDermott.
