May 29th 1971, Willeka “KeKe” Marie Johnson was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Mattie “Cookie” Johnson and Robert “Bobby” Hertt. The oldest of 7, Willeka attended Tulsa public schools until graduating from McClain Senior High.

Willeka was always known for her determination, work ethic, and genuine spirit. She worked tirelessly to support herself, countless friends, and family members. Often moving up to management in any profession she was in.

Following her mother’s religious beliefs. Willeka embraced her faith at a young age. She carried those same values throughout her life’s journey. Her loyalty and willingness to help others left a long-lasting impact on everyone who knew her.

She was welcomed into heaven by her grandparents, William and Marie Johnson, from whom she received her beautiful name; her father, Bobby; aunt, Marion; and her brother, Charles Allen ‘Jermaine’ Nickerson.

Though not a biological parent, Willeka named and helped raise Willeka and Shaleka Dixon, along with their siblings. She was a mother to many. She was more than someone to look up to. She was a protector, role model, mentor, and more. Though we grieve our loss, we take comfort that her spirit is now at peace.
