On her biological dad's side, she is survived by one half-sister, Tisha Dawn Barran of Prairie Grove, Ark.; one half-brother, Shawn of Springdale; two uncles, Buddy and Eddie Johnson of Fayetteville, Ark.; and two aunts, Connie Johnson Taylor, and Sharon Land of Prairie Grove, Ark.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Beulah Nadine Dennis; her niece, Brittney Allen Johnson: her stepdad, Scott Sherman Dorsey; her biological dad, Danny Joe Johnson; her biological grandparents, Paul and Velma Johnson; and three uncles, Huston (Sonny), Jerry, and Harley Johnson.
