June 29, 2022 at 12:30 amCherokee and I met when I was 17 years old, 46 years ago. Friend with a capital “F”. Although a move to the suburbs of Washington, DC put miles between us we never let go of the bond the friendship between us!
As many will attest, she was larger than life with her heart to embrace as family any and all that partook of her large, generous hearted love.
I will look at sunflowers and remember …

Cherokee, besides being the best big sister a brother could have she was truly a better person & friend. I will miss her for the remainder of my days. We may have not lived close to each other but we were close. Actually we got closer as we grew older. I will no longer be able to watch a Bears game without seeing her in all her bears gear on and rooting for her team. So one more time for you Big Sis. GO BEARS!!!!!

Cherokee L. Johnson, 65, passed away on June 27, 2022. She was born on April 8, 1957, to Elmer Culp and Martha McIntosh in Evansville, Indiana.
Cherokee was a graduate of Reitz High School. She had a heart of gold and devoted many years to working and advocating for non-profit organizations around the area. In 1979, she started the Special Olympics program at the Evansville State Hospital. She was a lifetime member of the VFW. She worked on the petition for 18 year olds to vote. She put her heart and soul into everything she did and cared deeply for others. She was an artist, she enjoyed painting. She loved visiting the ocean. She was an avid Chicago Bear fan. Above all, her children and grandchildren were her world. She was “super nana.” She will be missed greatly.
