    3. Dollie Ann Johnson Dollie Ann Johnson, 86, passed away on Thursday, December 1, 2005, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Tina and Jim Bland of Klamath Falls, Ore. She was surrounded by her children. Dollie was born September 9, 1919, in Mt. Olive, Alabama, to Charles and Bersie Shull, the fourth of eight children. While working for her aunt and uncle in Elizabethtown, Tennessee, she met Carl Wayne Johnson. They were married on August 31, 1941, in Mt. Olive, Alabama. They were married for 46 years and blessed with seven children, five of whom are still living. Carl passed away just shy of their 47th anniversary. Carl and Dollie moved to Willits, California, initially, and from there, in 1951, the family moved to Alturas. Dollie spent most of her life as a loving mother and homemaker. For two summers she was a cook at Hilton Fire Station, and thereafter, volunteered for many years at Blue Lake Bible Camp. After the children were raised, she worked as a retail clerk for Souther's and Fitzpatrick's Department Stores in Alturas. Dollie loved going places, whether traveling to Alabama for family visits, or visiting her children and grandchildren. She loved family get-togethers and it was important to her to be able to participate and share in as many activities and experiences with her grandchildren as she could. In recent years, she traveled to see two of her four grandsons graduate from Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego. She liked sewing and made many garments as well as numerous craft items for her family. Dollie also enjoyed going to the monthly widows' Teapot Fellowship at her church, and she rarely missed watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Dollie loved the Lord and up until the last year, was an active member of her church, Christian Life Assembly. She was also a member of the High Sierra Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star. Dollie was preceded in death by her husband, two children, one grandson, one great-granddaughter, parents, two sisters, and three brothers. She is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Charlie and Josie Johnson of Alturas, Tony and Julie Johnson of Juneau, Alaska; son, Jim Johnson of Alturas; daughters and sons-in-law, Pat and David Ziemer and Tina and Jim Bland of Klamath Falls, Oregon; sister, Jean DeShazo of Conyers, Georgia; brother, Jerry Shull of Mt. Olive, Alabama; fourteen grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren with another expected in July, and numerous nieces and nephews.
