Geraldine Johnson, 69, of Burlington, died Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in West Burlington. Born Nov. 2, 1955, in Quincy, Ill., she was the daughter of Melvin and Margret Rudd Johnson.
Geraldine was full of life. She had a bubbly personality but wasn't afraid to speak her mind. On occasion she could be a little ornery. She was a great cook and enjoyed making wonderful meals for her family. Geraldine had great luck, and enjoyed practicing that luck on scratch off tickets. She loved watching her morning game shows, Let's Make a Deal and The Price is Right. She liked gardening and growing beautiful flowers. She set food out for the birds and the animals and enjoyed watching them in her yard. Geraldine's warmth and kindness will be missed tremendously, but her memory will continue on in the hearts of all who love her.
Her family includes her children; Jacob (Sara Wright) Johnson, Melissa (Sharee "Nurse Betty" Settles) Johnson, Latisha (Tim) Lewis, Danielle (Devlin Nichols) Johnson, Kia (Reggie) Elliott; nineteen grandkids and twenty-three great-grandkids; eight sisters, Jaqueline Parrish, Margo Harris, Suzette Parrish, Sharon Parrish, Patricia Humphery, Melva Johnson, Charlotte Clay and Tammy Lewis, one brother, Melvin Johnson.
Besides the love of her life, Gregory "The Commish" Darnell, she was preceded in death by her parents Margret and Melvin Johnson, two brothers and two sisters.
Prugh Funeral Service is in care of the arrangements.
