In loving memory of Renay Johnson

 

In memory of Renay Johnson
June 6, 1954 - Sept. 10, 2024

Renay Johnson was a loving wife and mother, a supportive sister, a devoted educator, and a source of love and joy for those around her. She dedicated her life to The Lord very early in life and was a 40+ year member of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas.

Renay was studious and the very first in the family to graduate from a university. She graduated from UCLA and paved the way for others in the family to continue to higher education, as well as to work in education themselves. Renay married Ronald Hill (who passed in 2023) in California in 1983 before moving to Texas to both work as educators. A few years later, they began their family in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD and had three wonderful children: Rhema, Rebekah and Royce.

Renay was recruited and hired as an elementary school teacher in Waller ISD where she taught first-sixth grades for 15 years. Desiring to work closer to her children, Renay was recruited and accepted a position in CFISD where she taught as a kindergarten teacher for 15 years at Frazier Elementary. She retired in 2013 after 30 years of service in education.

Renay volunteered her time in the children’s church at Lakewood, was a Girl Scout Leader and active team mom and cheerleader through all of her children’s sports and extracurricular activities. Throughout her life, she was passionate about art, puzzles, musicals, reading, and watching a variety of movies. From small interactions to lifelong friendships, Renay was a blessing to those who met her. Her smile, her laughter, and her genuine kindness made everyone around her feel loved and accepted.

Treasuring her legacy are her children: Rhema Baquero, Rebekah Hill, and Royce Hill (who have all worked in CFISD), a host of family, friends, and grandchildren still to come.
