| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ April 13, 2005, p. A12 Visitation for Mr. Odie Lee Johnson was held last Friday (April 8) at the Frey-Wickenburg Funeral Home. Mr. Johnson passed away in his home April 4. He was born in Placid, Texas, April 21, 1921 to Quay and Florence (Haywood) Johnson. He was known to his friends as Lee. Lee was a graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. There he met his wife of 56 years, Juanita Gene Robinson. Through his adult life, he worked at General Dynamics in both San Diego and Pomona, Calif. He left General Dynamics to pursue his love of automobiles and all things mechanical. He was self-employed in these fields. He brought his family to Prescott, Ariz., in 1966 where he resided until his retiring to Wickenburg in 1997. Although he had numerous and varied interests, his love for the universe prompted him to design and build telescopes, which he coupled with his interest in photography, to take pictures of nature's wonders such as comets and constellations. Lee is survived by his wife Juanita Gene Johnson of Wickenburg; daughter Stephanie Hickman; son James (Pam) Johnson; grandsons James, Samuel and Jacob. His living siblings are Curtis (Wanda) Johnson of Del City, Okla., Lela Anderson, Maggie Hammock and Clarence (Wilma) Johnson of Abilene, Texas. His humor and intellect will be missed by all who knew and loved him. But most of all, he leaves a void in the lives of his loving family, who were his life.
