Jody Lynn Johnson

Jody Lynn Johnson, 46, of Mansfield, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at her home.

Jody was born on October 29, 1975 in Mansfield, Ohio. She was the daughter of Jeanne and Rich Peters. From the very beginning, Jody had a deep love for children, and used that as she taught and ran group homes. She took her love of teaching and shared it with her grandchildren.

Jody was an exceptional wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved spending time with her husband, Michael. Some of their favorite things to do together were going to the lakes, hiking at Mohican, Hocking Hills and Pleasant Hill. Together they were always searching for their next adventure. She lived for her grandchildren, and was an active grandmother who was always doing projects, singing with them, taught them how to write their names, and taught them how to do household chores. As the most accommodating mother, she was always juggling her daughter’s schedule without a complaint. She was always willing to help with anything and did whatever was asked of her. Family was very important to Jody and she made sure to make time for them in many ways: from her Sunday calls with her Aunt Therea and Uncle Cliff, to weekly dinners with her parents and in-laws, to visiting her daughters, to simply playing cards at the kitchen table. Anytime they were together was special to Jody. Even at her death, she was helping and reassuring her family that all was well with her and she loved them dearly and was ready to meet the Lord.

She had love for everything including her fur babies, Buckeye, Brutus, Bo, José, Lilly, Ella, Bella, and Stevie that she always would insist that she did not want.

Jody leaves behind to cherish many fond memories her husband of 27 years, Michael Johnson; his daughters, Allison (Dustin) Porter and Abbie (Cody Davis) Johnson; her much loved grandchildren, Miley and Mason Porter and Michael Davis; her parents, Jeanne and Rich Peters; her in-law, Dee and Willard Johnson; her sister, Lisa (Chris) Washington; her brother, Joey (Jenny) Peters; brothers-in-law, Matt (Sable) Johnson and Marc (Amy) Johnson; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Family and friends may gather from 1:00-4:00 pm on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at the Diamond Street Home of Wappner Funeral Directors, 98 S. Diamond Street.
