Nancy L. (Deill) Johnson

Nancy L. Johnson, 77, of Pittsburg, passed away at 5:44 a.m. Saturday, May 18, 2024 at Freeman West Hospital in Joplin, Missouri.

She was born February 1, 1947 in Pittsburg, the daughter of Byron A. and Mary (Beauchamp) Deill. She graduated from College High and later as an RN from KU Medicine.

Ms. Johnson was a co-owner of Broadway Lumber, but preferred the role of mother.

Nancy was a bright light with the softest, kindest spirit. She took her mother in eleven years ago and cared for her – they were the best of friends. Those around her often described her as a saint.

Survivors include a son, John Johnson of Ft. Worth, Texas; a daughter, Elyse Johnson of Scottsdale, Arizona; and her mother, Mary Deill of Pittsburg, Kansas; and a sister, Suzy Boldrini of Pittsburg, KS.

She was preceded in death by her father, Byron.
