Obituary of Jenny Lee Johnson

     Jenny “The Boss” Johnson, of Independence, KY passed away surrounded by her family at her residence on the morning of Sunday, December 19, 2021 at the age of 70.

     She was born in Covington, KY on March 9, 1952; the daughter of the late George and Pauline Melvin. Jenny had worked as a cook, retiring from R.A. Jones Manufacturing in Covington, KY. In her spare time, she enjoyed cooking, baking and singing. Jenny had an immense love for animals and often enjoyed watching The Walton’s and Joel Osteen on television. Her greatest joy, however, came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

     Those left surviving to carry on Jenny’s legacy include her daughters, Melissa “Missy” (William) Gross, Mandy (Brad Hensley) Johnson and Shelley (Chris) Miller; grandchildren, Hayley Gross, Will Gross, Tyler Miller, Trenton Miller, Paisley Hensley, Lynnette Johnson and Faith Luttrell; as well as many other close relatives and friends who are now emptier upon her passing.
