Betty Budd Johnson Dead at 86

Betty Budd Johnson, 86, went to be with her Lord on June 15, 2013.

She lived in Brandon for the past 19 years, and was living in the Delaney Creek Lodge Assisted Living Residence for the last three years.

She was born in Carbondale PA, and resided in Vestal, NY, followed by Charlotte, NC, before moving to Florida.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred, in 2004.

Betty left behind a brother, Jack of Endicott, NY, three sons, Budd of Brandon, Rick of Conklin, NY, Mark of Vestal, NY; and two daughters, Marta Cox of Monroe, NC, and Julie Buchanan of Valrico.

Betty also had 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Betty and Fred were members of the First Baptist Church of Brandon.

A memorial service will be scheduled for a later date. Her cinerary urn will be placed in the columbarium with her husband at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell FL.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her name to LifePath Hospice or The American Cancer Society Relay for Life c/o Delaney Creek Lodge.

Everyone that was affected by her love, generosity and humor will surely miss her.

Enough cannot be said about the friendship and care provided by the staff and caregivers of Delaney Creek Lodge and LifePath Hospice.
