Lynda Wright Johnson was born on August 28, 1941 in St. Joseph, LA to John Wright and Nora Waltman Wright.

Lynda graduated from Ouachita Parish High School in 1960 and married Joe W. Johnson the same year. They were married 39 years until his death in the year 1999. She was a very dedicated and devoted wife, even willing to get up at 4:00am on hunting days to make sure he got a hot breakfast. They loved each other very much and have been reunited at last.

Lynda was a member of West Heights Baptist Church for many years where she taught Sunday School, directed VBS, and served as an essential member of the ladies auxiliary. She later attended Mt. Vernon Baptist Church where she met her group of ladies in ceramics class and they began traveling together. She was never happier than when she was helping others. It was her own personal ministry.

Lynda loved any reason to celebrate with her family. She enjoyed hosting many a holiday dinner, baby shower, wedding shower, or gathering. She always made sure to let everyone know they had a seat at her table. She had a way of making everyone feel seen that always ensured her list of family and friends was ever growing.
