Ila Johnson
Ila "Joyce" Bushart Johnson, 65, of Little Rock, went to be with the Lord on July 31, 2013. Born in Little Rock on August 19, 1947 to the late Venton and Thelma Watkins, she was also preceded in death by her husband, Bennie E. Johnson and her sister, Janice Anspach.

She is survived by her daughter, Stacey Bushart Benegar (Ted); son, James Bushart; sister, Marilyn Sandusky (Jim); bother-in-law, Norman Anspach; and three grandchildren, Cody Benegar, Sara Benegar and Anna Grace Benegar, all of Little Rock.
