Sarah Jane Johns
July 15, 1947 – August 22, 2022
Sarah Jane Johns, age 75, of Sheridan, Indiana, passed away on Monday evening, August 22, 2022, at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville.
She was born on July 15, 1947, in Noblesville, Indiana, daughter of the late Charles Frederick “Chod” and Mary Elizabeth (Prindle) Greathouse.
Mrs. Johns was a 1965 graduate of Sheridan High School and a member of the Sheridan Wesleyan Church.
She had a gift for helping and taking care of everyone around her. After graduation, she took a position as a Nurses Aid with Sheridan Healthcare Center and adapted quickly to the role of caregiver. Mrs. Johns treated the residents like family and was a trusted friend to the families of her patients. She would later go to work for St. Vincent Hospital for several years before leaving the healthcare field. Changing career fields, she went to work in the cleaning industry, working for several different companies through the years, including Biddle Manufacturing, Comfort Inn and Suites and later Bull Dog Cleaning Services.
As Mrs. Johns eased her way into retirement, she realized that she had more time to devote to what truly made her happy. She loved going to as many festivals as she could, especially the Covered Bridge Festival, and going out to eat every chance she could get. She also enjoyed taking trips down to Kentucky to visit family and friends.
To Mrs. Johns, there was nothing more important than family–except maybe the Indianapolis Colts. She tried her best to never miss a game and was absolutely over the moon when they finally got to the Super Bowl.
Survivors include the love of her life Irvin Laverne Johns, the two being married on March 2, 1970; two sons Jeffery L. Johns and Bradley Joseph Johns, both of Sheridan; three grandchildren Alex Norman, Jayden Goodwin and Annabelle Brothers; brother Gerald “Gator” Greathouse of Sheridan; sister Nora Dellingner of Whitestown; and her cat Patches.
She was preceded in death by her parents Charles Frederick “Chod” and Mary Elizabeth (Prindle) Greathouse; two brothers James and Roger Dale Greathouse; and brother-in-law Ray Dellingner.
Services are scheduled to be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, at Kercheval Funeral Home, 306 E. 10th Street, Sheridan, Indiana, with Visitation scheduled to run from 12 p.m. noon until the time of service. Burial will follow at Spicewood Cemetery in Sheridan. Pastor George Cooper will be officiating.
