Dallas passed away on Monday, July 1, 2024 at her home with her family by her side. Dallas has struggled with heart disease for several years, and the last three months were very difficult. Dallas is the daughter of James Edmond and Dessie Self Johnson.
Dallas was a wonderful mother, sister, aunt, and mamaw. She was a very hard worker. Dallas spent 27 years at Drexel Heritage and years at Burke Veneer. She went to cosmetology school in 1971. She enjoyed doing hair when she worked at Beauty Point, Smart Cut, and her beauty shop in her home. Dallas was well-known and loved by many.
Dallas loved listening to country music. She and her late husband, Paul Henry, would travel to Nashville, Tennessee to hear their favorites. Dallas always loved to go. She and Paul Henry would go to many places and make wonderful memories. After his passing, she continued to work and go on trips.
