Kathy Johnson, a 2017 First Citizen nominee, is a long-time volunteer with Relay for Life and at the Wilsonville Library. She started Wilsonville Citizens For Public Art (with Steve Spicer), and volunteered for about three years with them. She was also Recorder for The Friends of The Wilsonville Library for about 10 years. Currently Kathy volunteers for the Twice Sold Tales library bookstore whenever they need her. She has worked on the Relay for Life Committee for about eight years, including as the Survivor Chair, the Luminaria Chair, and the Event Chair during those years. Kathy has also worked as Senior Drive-up Teller for ten years.
During that time she prided herself in taking the best care of her customers as she could, trying to make their lives a bit brighter and happier when they came to her drive-up window at Bank of America. While working at BofA Kathy volunteered at The Canby Center as a Grant Writer and was able to get them funding for two projects, as well as funds from BofA for her volunteer hours. She also received the Bronze President’s Volunteer Service Award from President Obama.
