In Loving Memory of Yolanda Johnson It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Yolanda Johnson, who transitioned from this life on July 23, 2026, surrounded by her beloved family. Born on October 5, 1950, in Detroit, Michigan, Yolanda graced this world with her warmth and kindness for 75 beautiful years. Yolanda was the cherished daughter of Kenny Johnson and Linda Harrison, who have both predeceased her. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her three devoted children and two precious grandchildren, who were the light of her life. Additionally, she is survived by a large and loving extended family, including a host of aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts. Throughout her life, Yolanda made a significant impact in her community through her dedicated service to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), where she worked for over 30 years. Her commitment to education and the well-being of children was evident in every role she undertook, and her colleagues and students alike fondly remember her as a beacon of encouragement and inspiration. Yolanda's life was enriched by her profound compassion and generosity, traits that she imparted to all who knew her. Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories of her gentle spirit, her infectious laughter, and her unwavering love for those she held dear. In accordance with Yolanda's wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held to honor her memory. The family extends their deepest gratitude to everyone for the outpouring of love, cards, flowers, and kind thoughts during this difficult time. For those who wish to honor Yolanda's memory, the family suggests making a donation to a charity of your choice, a gesture that reflects Yolanda's lifelong commitment to giving and caring for others. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks for the support and kindness shown to them during this time of sorrow.
