Inez Johnson passed away on Thursday, March 31. Born in Alexandria, Louisana on January 7, 1912, she was 99 years old. Inez began her career as a nanny in 1959 in the Pacific Palisades home of Gertrude and Nat Bubar, caring for their children Moreen and Bill. She ultimately became the general manager of Bubar’s Jewelers in Santa Monica and worked until the day before her passing. Inez embraced many responsibilities and careers, including raising her four brothers and one sister. She worked as a dietician in an all-girls school, a Bible and Sunday school teacher, a night worker at TWA, an assistant manager at the Gaylord Hotel, and a start-up tailor shop following World War II. As a classroom volunteer for the Los Angeles Unified School District, she was honored as a Dedicated Older Volunteer for Education with commendations. A very generous person, Inez contributed to numerous charities over her lifetime. She helped others to achieve success through the many relationships that she fostered and the exemplary model of good deeds that she set over the 99 years of her great life. Inez Johnson is survived by her nieces, Olivett Johnson-Aguilar of Phoenix, Arizona and Janina Austin of Washington, D.C.; her sister-in-law Nina Johnson of Chicago; and William J. Bubar, a friend since 1959.
