Lula Belle Johnson

Lula Belle Johnson, born on March 15, 1934, in Childress, Texas, to Walter and Canard Childers, passed away peacefully with her family by her side. Due to a home delivery and delayed filing, her birth was officially recorded as March 13, 1934.

In 1963, Lula moved from Texas to Fair Oaks, California, where she made her home for many years. In September 2022, she relocated to Carmichael, California, to live with her daughter, Donna Flores.

Lula was a vibrant, hardworking woman with a lifelong passion for creativity. She spent many years working as a seamstress and realtor from home before pursuing a career in healthcare, earning her LVN and later becoming a registered nurse. Outside of her professional achievements, she enjoyed crafting, tending to her flower garden, and painting. Her beautifully decorated gourds and treasured paintings were a testament to her artistic talent and the love she poured into her creations.

Lula is survived by her loving family:
• Daughters: Rebecca Heddlesten (Nelson) of Fort Towson, OK, and Donna Flores of
Carmichael, CA
