JOHNSON, JEAN MARIE of Socorro, NM passed away on September 16, 2012 at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, NM surrounded by numerous loved ones. She was 77 years old. Jean was born on Sept 5, 1935 in Warren, PA to Darryl Victor and Ruth Nelson.

Her priorities in life were her family and friends of which she had many. Her life and love affected so many people from many different backgrounds, cultures and nationalities. She never knew a stranger and everyone that she ever met walked away with a feeling of unconditional love and acceptance. So many people remember her unbelievable hospitality and her famous green chili. No one ever left her home hungry. She was always, as the song goes, "A Good Hearted Woman in Love with a Good Timing Man." Thank God! But through all the years Jean remained a lady and no one can dispute that fact.

She had played various roles with local theaters, and enjoyed attending a variety of performances. When Paula saw God's creation, she said, "God is very good." And if by the their fruits you shall know them has any credence at all, Paula Sue proved her faith by her deeds, when she became a friend, mentor, confidant and the soul mate of Dr. Buick Moomchi. Buick's dedication of his dissertation on his second round of doctoral work is descriptive of Paula Sue, "I dedicate this work to the inimitable Paula Sue, whose faith in, prayers for and - as necessary- tough love (editorial and otherwise) toward me have been demonstrated and have strengthen- ed me through this entire process by her steadfast encouragement, cheer- ful optimism, and candid truth-telling in the spirit of unconditional love; this has been a humbling "pearl of great price," as it is a mani- festation on the human scale of the matchless grace of Almighty God." Aside from Kuykendall-Dyess, Chupa-Bratczyk, and Nials-Shope, Paula leaves behind many members of Moomchi-Sadri, and Sadrpour families. Paula is survived by her soul-make, and aunt, nephews, sister-in-law, cousins and many adopted children and grandchildren, and a lot of friends. She will be missed.
