As we reflect on her life and legacy, let us celebrate the love and devotion she shared with her family and friends.
Kandy Evelyn (Garner) Johnson, age 58, departed from this world on February 29, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness. A native of Franklin County, she was born in Winchester on August 11, 1965, to the late Ronnie Garner and Mary Ann (Davis) Prince. From her earliest days, Kandy’s gentle spirit and caring nature endeared her to all who crossed her path.
A Devoted Homemaker: Cherishing Family Time
Throughout her life, Kandy found joy and fulfillment in her role as a devoted homemaker. She cherished the time spent with her beloved family, creating cherished memories that will endure for generations to come. Many affectionately called her “Granny,” a testament to the love and affection she bestowed upon those around her.
In addition to her parents, Kandy was preceded in death by her son, Alex “Tutter” Garner, and her former husband, Ralph Johnson. Though their physical presence may be gone, their memories live on in the hearts of those who loved them, serving as a reminder of the preciousness of life and the importance of treasuring every moment.
A Legacy of Love: Kandy’s Survivors
Kandy is survived by her loving daughter, Kelly (Derek) Walls of Decherd, who will carry on her mother’s legacy of love and compassion. She is also survived by her siblings, Ronnie (Susan) Garner Jr. of Hillsboro, Joe Garner of Cowan, and Carolyn Kay Garner of Cowan, as well as her step-father, John D. Prince of Winchester. Kandy’s grandchildren, Tristyn Barnes, Aidan Walls, Jacey Walls, and Caitlyn Walls, were the light of her life, bringing her immense joy and happiness.
A Family Expanded: Embracing the Next Generation
As Kandy’s family expands to welcome a soon-to-be great-grandchild, her legacy of love and devotion will continue to thrive. She leaves behind many nieces and nephews, friends who were like family, and her beloved fur babies, Fancy and Ace. Their lives were enriched by Kandy’s presence, and her memory will forever be cherished in their hearts.
