Fern Agnes (Bowerman) Johnson, age 87 of West Plains, MO, was born September 4, 1921, in Oregon County, MO, and passed away November 26, 2008, at the Brooke Haven Health Center in West Plains, MO.

She was a faithful servant to God and family. She often sacrificed her own needs to care for and help others especially family. Her greatest joy was teaching and leading others to accept God’s greatest gift, Jesus, as their Savior. Most of her adult life was spent teaching boys and girls about God’s amazing love for mankind. Her physical presence may be gone from us but her love and example will continue to be a guiding beacon to those left behind. Today, we celebrate her life on earth but most of all we rejoice that her constant yearning to be at home in Heaven is now a reality.

Services will be 10am Saturday, November 29, 2008, at the Clary Funeral Home in Alton, MO, with Dr. Neil Myers & Bro. Edward Casey officiating. Interment will be in the Cave Springs Cemetery. Family night will be 6pm-8pm Friday, November 28, 2008, at the Clary Chapel.
