Priscilla "Teco" Johnson
July 25, 1939 - July 17, 2015
Priscilla "Teco" Jane Lee Johnson, 75, of Bevil
Oaks, was born in Beaumont, on July 25, 1939, to Laura Kathryn Winton Lee and Wilson
Kee Lee, Sr. She passed away on July 17,
2015, after a difficult fight with cancer.
Teco went to Silsbee High and French High School and was
still in contact with many of her friends from both schools. She also attended Lamar
University. During school she was very active in school clubs and was in the
original Buffalo Belles at French HS. She was a class officer and
cheerleader in Silsbee and was voted Most Beautiful her junior year at French
HS.
When she retired, after twenty-eight years, from the United States Department of
Agriculture in 2002, she thoroughly enjoyed reading as her favorite pastime.
She also loved having her family and friends at her house for meals and
parties. She always felt that her family and friends were the most wonderful
part of her life.
Teco is survived by her very supportive and loving husband of
forty-two years, Frederick A. Johnson; daughters, Dr. Kimber Knight and her
husband, David, of Beaumont; Shelli Brannon and her husband, Bow, of Sugar
Land; and Sandra Doland and her husband, Michael, of Beaumont; she was
"Nana" to grandchildren, Megan Knight Brewer and her husband, Ryan,
of Beaumont; Bow Brannon III, of Lakeway; Hilary Brannon, of Sugar Land; Jason
Knight, originally from Beaumont, now in the United States Navy stationed in
San Diego, California; Danielle Doland, of Galveston; Erin Doland, of Beaumont;
Graham Brannon and his fiancée, Leah Cormier, of Sugar Land; and the newest
member of the family, her only great-granddaughter, Riley Rae Brannon; brothers,
John Malcolm Lee and his wife, Myrtle, of Vidor and Wilson Kee Lee, Jr. and his
wife, Renee, of Beaumont, and their
children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; long time close friends, Anita
Smith and Jeanette Patrick; her wonderfully, comforting dog, Izzi Jane Lee
Johnson; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Laura and Wilson
Lee; grandparents, May and Joe Winton; brother, George Lee; stepdaughter, Janna
Johnson; and nephew, John Bret Lee.
A gathering of Mrs. Johnson’s family and friends will be
from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., Friday, July 24, 2015, at Broussard’s, 1605
North Major Drive, Beaumont. Her committal was held at Broussard’s Crematorium,
Beaumont.
It was her wish that her family and friends not mourn for
her, but raise a glass, make a toast, and celebrate life. In lieu of
flowers, the family would encourage a gift to your local food bank or your
favorite local animal rescue.
