Rexine Elizabeth (Wood) Johnson, 94, of Flippin, Arkansas passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on June 3, 2022. She was born October 26, 1927 in Flippin Arkansas. She was the daughter of James Rector ''Rex'' and L. Cecile (Beaver) Wood. Rexine and was united in marriage on March 29, 1945 to Arnold Ray Johnson in Gainesville, Missouri.
Rexine was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her sister, Pauline Marberry and baby brother, Charles Elroy Wood.

Rexine loved Jesus and served as His hands and feet. She was a career homemaker and farm wife, who helped tend cattle, put up hay, and raise a garden. Her cooking will surely be missed.

She and close friend Willia Humphries spent years making quilts for all their grandchildren and many more which they gave away to those in need in the community.

Rexine was Charles' favorite cousin so of course she was mine also. We loved her down-to- earth ways and how she always made us feel welcome when we visited her. She will be missed.
