She is fiercely independent, and has taken care of herself and others most of her life. Although her health is declining, she continues to be a blessing and hasn't lost her smile despite the pain she is suffering. She is a strong woman and I have been privileged to be part of her family.

Wild Woman Tribute - Grammy
Anna P. Johnson is actually Scott's paternal grandmother, but I've called her Grammy since I met her almost 16 years ago. Recently she was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and she is now under hospice care. She has helped us in many ways, and I want to honor her while she is still with us.
Grammy has seen a lot of joy and pain over her 91+ years, raising 3 children (often without help), working as an elementary teacher and elder caregiver, and being an active member of her church. She loves kids and has guided 3 generations in her own special way. She has a strong faith and likes to help others. Grammy has a ready smile and has kept the same portable "hairstyle" for over 30 years. She is a collector and shopper, and has given dozens of small children happy memories from her toy chest.
