Dee Anne Johnson Obituary

Dee Anne Johnson, 60, passed away on July 7, 2025, in Mayflower, Arkansas. Born on December 4, 1964, in North Little Rock, Arkansas, Dee Anne lived a vibrant and full life marked by her adventurous spirit and deep love for her family.

Throughout her life, Dee Anne was known for her carefree nature and her commitment to making each day meaningful. With unwavering dedication and hard work, she built a successful business that thrived for nearly four decades—a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit and resilience. Dee Anne cherished time spent with loved ones.

She was a devoted mother to Heathre D. Gossett-Carle and Corey S. Gossett, and she held the memory of her late son Joshua Patterson close to her heart. Her role as a grandmother brought her immense joy; she adored her grandchildren—Evan R. Carle, Owen M. Gossett, and Lily E. Gossett—and treasured every moment shared with them.

She is also remembered by her siblings: Tonya R. Powers (Scotty), Diana Frazier, and Shane Jonson (Dawn), as well as many aunt, uncles, and cousins that loved her deeply. Dee Anne was preceded in death by her father B.R. Johnson, mother Billie Woods, brother, Jimmy Johnson, and sisters Melissa Loomis and Billie Araujo.

A lover of the outdoors, Dee Anne found peace in nature—whether fishing on quiet waters or walking along the beach. Her zest for life was evident in everything she did, whether it be work or play, she made it count.

Dee Anne’s legacy lives on through the family she loved so deeply and the countless lives she touched through both personal connection and professional success. May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.

There will be a private ceremony celebrating Dee Anne’s life, then she will be laid to rest in Blue Springs Cemetery with the rest of her family.
