Saundra “Sandi” Beth Julian Johnson, 59, of Kannapolis passed away March 1, 2022. She was born October 7, 1962 in Cabarrus County, a daughter of the late Sherman and Margaret Thompson Julian.

Sandi loved music. She sang in the AL Brown chorus and acapella choir in high school. She also sang with the Kannapolis Community Choir. In 1986, she went with the KCC to Carnegie Hall to sing.

She was a member of Blackwelder Park Baptist Church where she sang in the choir.

Sandi was employed by the Kannapolis City School system as a teacher assistant at Fred L Wilson Elementary.

In 2017, her only grandson, Tred, was born and he has since been the light of her life.
