Harriet “Grannie” T. Johnston November 22, 1926 – August 7, 2015

Harriet “Grannie” T. Johnston, 88, of East Limestone died surrounded by her family at Huntsville Hospital of Madison. She was preceded in death by her husband, James J Johnston.

She is survived by her two loving daughters, Nancy J Steadmon and Ann J Liddell; grandchildren, Jamie Steadmon, Todd and Jackie Haggermaker, Drummond Liddell Jr., Jessie Steadmon, and Ian Liddell; great-grandchildren, Montana, Chesnie, and Ivie; and special friends Regina and Taylor Prater.

She was known to many as “Grannie.” She was a kind soul to all. Some of her favorite passed times were making her spunky presence known to all in attendance at any sporting event her grandchildren participated. She was their biggest fan! She also enjoyed cross stitching, find-a-words, and shopping. The time she loved above all others was “family time.”

Visitation was held from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Sunday, August 9 at Laughlin Service Funeral Home. A graveside service was held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, August 10 at Valhalla Memorial Garden.
