Johnette Currington

Johnette Currington, of Poetry, passed away surrounded by loving family on April 11, 2016 in Rockwall, Texas. Johnette was born October 29, 1941 in Dallas, Texas to Johnnie and Ada Hussong, both of whom preceded her in death along with her grandson, Brandon Paul Williams. She graduated from Terrell High School in 1960 and retired from American National Bank after working there for 26 years. Johnette was a model of the Proverbs 31 woman in that her devotion to husband, children and friends was, in a word, extraordinary. She and her high school sweetheart, Leon, married on July 9, 1962 and for all of their marriage, they were inseparable. She made sure to be involved in any and all activities of her children and grandchildren especially attending and supporting them at their sporting events. Her cooking, especially at Christmas time, was renowned and she truly looked forward to the memories that these gatherings created. She was a strong woman who could see the best in every challenge and she was a steadfast rock for her family to depend on. Johnette also enjoyed spending time at the Terrell Boat Club where she was a longtime member. A strong, caring, loving person, Johnette treasured the relationships she formed with so many people. Her beautiful spirit and her easy elegance will be legacies that her family and friends will joyfully carry forward in their own lives. Johnette leaves to cherish her memory her beloved husband, Leon Currington of Terrell; cherished children: Kathy Williams and husband, Ken, of Rowlett; Danny Currington and wife, Amy, of Terrell, Casey Currington and wife, Kacey, of Kemp; treasured grandchildren: Emily, D.J., Jordan, Kailey, Cade and Cooper; sister, Rachel Lee and husband, Billy of Terrell as well as nieces, nephews, extended family and a host of many friends.
