Johann Sammons

Johann Sammons, 83, of Flat Rock, IL, died at 6:35 a.m. (EST) on Monday, September 25, 2017 at the Regional Hospital in Terre Haute, IN. She was born October 19, 1933 in Hammond, IN, the daughter of Michael Rodgers & Opal (Hunt) Rodgers, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Sammons on December 15, 1978; and by her brother, Fred Rodgers. She is survived by her children, Mike Hedrick, Debbie Henderson, and Fred Wetzel; by her grandchildren, Amy Wright, Natalie Hedrick, Michael Hedrick, Mellissa Hedrick, and Hannah Wetzel; by 10 great-grandchildren; by two nephews, one niece, three great-nephews, and one great-niece; and by her sister-in-law, Frances Rodgers. Johann lived in Hammond, IN for many years before moving to Flat Rock following the death of her husband. Through the years, much of her time was spent alongside her mother, Opal. The two of them enjoyed quilting and were known to go shopping a time or two. She also spent quite a bit of time with her sister-in-law, Frances, with whom she shared a love for Bingo. Johann could often be spotted at the Maxwell House, and was a regular there for many years. Though all of this was important to her, few things brought her more joy than simply playing her piano. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 28th at the Tohill Cemetery, rural Flat Rock. The Goodwine Funeral Home in Flat Rock is in charge of arrangements.
