Kathy Lynn Johnson Justice, 57, of Eastland, went home to her Lord and
Savior Monday, May 25, 2015, due to the rupture of a brain aneurysm.
She was born March 2, 1958, in El Paso, Texas, to Billy C. Johnson and
Ethleen Mae Dunlap Johnson.
Kathy graduated from Eastland High School in 1976 and then attended
cosmetology school. She worked at Images in Eastland and then opened
and operated her hair salon in Ranger for many years. Later, she went
to work for Fullen Motor Company where she was employed for over
twenty years. She loved to hunt arrowheads, petrified wood, and unique
rocks. She enjoyed finding and repurposing old junk. She loved
spending time outdoors and gardening. Kathy was a kind and devoted
friend who always had a smile on her face and a cheerful spirit. She
would be the first to offer help to a friend in need. She was a
loving mother, daughter, sister, and aunt. She loved her family
immeasurably and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her son, Tyler Justice; mother, Ethleen Johnson;
