Tellina Gail Johnson's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tellina Gail Johnson, who left this world in the early morning hours of October 12, 2025. She was a woman who lived boldly, loved fiercely, and gave endlessly.
A devoted mother to her three daughters, Jennifer Cline, Elizabeth Gilrane and Kalyn Johnson, and a loving "mom" to her loyal four-legged fur baby, Beebs, she built her world around those she loved. Her boundless energy, strong work ethic, and relentless spirit meant she was rarely seen sitting still — always finding something to do, someone to help, or a way to make life better for others.
She found peace and joy in simple things — a good book, the sound of the ocean, the feel of sand beneath her feet. The beach was her sanctuary, a place where her heart felt free and full. Much like the tide, her love rolled in strong and steady — you always knew where you stood with her.
She was a woman that had no filter, often saying exactly what was on her mind, but always with good intentions and a fierce loyalty that never wavered. She could make you laugh, cry, and think — sometimes all in the same conversation. Her honesty was refreshing, her presence unforgettable.
Generous to a fault, she would have given the shirt off her back — and often joked that she would even if she wasn’t wearing one. She was someone people could count on, whether they needed a ride, a meal, a hug, or just someone to listen. Compassionate and dependable, she carried a heart big enough to hold everyone’s troubles — and still offer room for more love.
Today, while we grieve her passing, we also find comfort in knowing she is reunited with the love of her life, her late husband Ralph Johnson, and their beloved daughter Sarah Johnson. We imagine their embrace in the heavens, a reunion of souls that brings her the peace she so deserves.
Her strength, love, and laughter will echo in our hearts forever. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and resilience.
Rest easy, Mom. You were one of a kind — and you will always be missed.
