Racine –  Sophia Anne Johnson, age 1; precious, cuddly, smiley & happy little princess of Samanatha Johnson and Samuel Johns; passed away unexpectedly on Thursday afternoon, June 5, 2014 in the emergency room of Wheaton Franciscan – All Saints Medical Center.

Sophia was born in Racine on May 13, 2013. Always smiling and forever wanting to snuggle up, Sophia loved the activities & mischievous fun that all toddlers enjoy – especially watching Sponge Bob and hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa to watch the fast cars of NASCAR.

Surviving are her parents, Samanatha Johnson and Samuel Johns; grandparents, Bridget and David Neiman; Eileen Johns and Greg Johnson; great-grandparents, Daniel Neiman, Karen and Lennie Eells, Teresa Nelson and Scott Mathies; great-great-grandparents, Marvin & Phillis Gleason; and Gerry Radesky; aunts and uncles, Christine (Scott) Slater, James Johnson, Michelle Johnson, Nicholas Johnson, Danny Neiman and Charlize Neiman; many other special relatives and family friends – too numerous to mention by name.

Sophia was preceded in death by her grandpa, James Johnson; great-grandparents, Judy and Edward Nelson; and great-uncle, Danny Neiman.
