Carrie Ann Johnson, fondly known as "Annie," was born on March 1, 1955, in Shattuck, Oklahoma, to parents James Hugh Meininger and Peggy Ann Wentz (Meininger, Johnson). She spent her early years in Harmon, Oklahoma, and throughout Ellis County, growing up with a deep appreciation for the western lifestyle. Annie attended school in Arnett, Oklahoma, completing grade school and some of her high school years there before graduating in Shattuck.

Annie had a passion for barrel racing, rodeos, and country music, and she was well-known for her spirited and adventurous nature. She worked as a manager at Arnett Grain, a role she took great pride in and through which she built lasting connections within her community. Over the years, she made her home in several places within the county: Arnett, Shattuck, and Higgins until 1998, Harmon until 2008, and finally Gage, where she lived until her passing on October 29, 2024.

Annie leaves behind a legacy of resilience, love, and warmth. She is survived by her beloved son, Christopher Johnson, and his wife, Sofia, of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her family includes her sister, Tricia Johnson of Woodward, Oklahoma, and brother, Harold Johnson of Gage, Oklahoma, along with her nephews, Scott Meininger and wife Stacy of Higgins, Texas, and Joseph Meininger of Arnett, Oklahoma, Shane Meininger of Kansas City, and her niece, Lisa Meininger of Fargo, Oklahoma.

Annie was preceded in death by her parents, Peggy Ann Wentz (Meininger, Johnson) and James Meininger, her stepfather, Dean Johnson, her brothers, Jack, Jimmy and his wife Ida, and John (Wolf) Meininger, and her nephew, Jacob Meininger.

Annie's adventurous spirit, love for family, and zest for life will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
