7/8/62 – 9/23/25
Wynona Lynn Johnson Redman was born in Summersville, WV, on July 8, 1962, to the late Dairell Leo and Eva Dale Green Johnson.
She left her earthly home suddenly on Sept. 23, 2025, after fighting medical battles most of her adult life. Anyone that knew Nonie knew what a fierce fighter she was.
She is preceded in death by brother, Roger Dairell Johnson.
She is survived by her husband, Henry Curtis Redman of 46 years, her son, Henry Curtis Redman, Jr. and the light of her life, granddaughter, Chelsea Redman; sister, Yevette and Danny Shafer of Frankford, WV; brothers, Floyd Johnson of Ronceverte, Ellis Johnson of Frankford, and Carl Johnson of Hillsboro; sisters-in-law, Liz Burns, and Trish and Jeff Woods; brothers-in-law, Lee and Paula Redman, and Tony and Wendi Redman; numerous other relatives and friends, especially her dialysis nurses.
Everyone that knew Nonie was positively impacted by her love of life and family. In many ways, she was the cornerstone, even though she was the baby of the family. She was the organizer of family events and get-togethers.
Anyone that knew Nonie soon came to love her. She was kind and giving and never complaining. No matter the circumstances she was a positive influence on many people.
Even through her afflictions, she was able to work for many years. First for the Hallmark Corporation and then for Appalachian By Design.
She enjoyed fishing with her husband and oftentimes they just loved to drive around, enjoying the scenic views that Virginia and West Virginia offer. She loved to watch the WVU Mountaineers football and basketball games. Thanks to a special friend, Ruth Ann, who arranged for her to meet both the teams. Nonie also enjoyed music and going to concerts. She especially enjoyed the Kansas concert at the WV State Fair in August. Most recently she was the number one champion in a simulated NASCAR hall of fame race in Charlotte, NC.
Per her wishes she wanted her body to be used for scientific study purposes with the intention of saving other people’s lives and that wish was granted.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
