If you know more about this person please reply here instead of contacting me because this is most likely not my family.

Thank you for posting this photo. Patricia Ann Pyka is part of my Ragland family from Mississippi. Would like to contact Patricia's children.

My connection to Patricia Ann Johnson Pyka is through her mother Lennie Pauline Ragland. Lennie's father, Edgar Monroe Ragland (1880-1954) and my grandmother, Sadie Ragland Davis (1896-1975), were children of John Hammett Ragland (1853-1907).

I show that Patricia Ann Johnson was born on February 7, 1939, in Fort Worth, Texas, the only child of Herbert Lester and Lennie Pauline Ragland. She was married to Gerald Joseph Pyka.. They had three children, Gerald Jr., Marletta, and James. She died on October 11, 1986, in her hometown, at the age of 47, and was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Ft Worth, TX.

Is this information correct? I only have what I have gleaned from the internet and Ancestry.com; I have no first hand knowledge of Lennie Pauline Ragland Johnson and family but am delighted to hear from her g-granddaughter.

Do you have any Ragland family history to share....stories, photos? There were three Ragland brothers and seven Ragland sisters. The brothers' mother was Malinda Lennie Moorehead. The sisters' mother was Martha Blaker.

This is so fascinating! I know my great grandmother as Pauline Goelitz (and more fondly as grandmother with the red hair!), so that is awesome info! Patricia and Gerald had 4 kids. My mother is missing from your list. Shelly Ann Pyka. All of your other info is correct. And sadly, I had no idea about my Ragland connections.

Oh and Gary Johnson was the son of "Lennie". Patricia was not the only child. I missed that the first look.

Okay, based on her obituary, Lennie is her middle name. She passed away in 2005. She was a fiery lady and a family favorite!! I have very fond memories of her red hair, red lips and raspy voice.

She sounds like a wonderful lady! I often wish I had become interested in genealogy earlier and had been able to meet some of my far flung cousins. I only recently became aware of the Ragland brothers and have been quite interested in finding out about them.

Thank you for the additional information. I will correct my tree.

Would love to hear from you. My e-mail address is vickiwinford@yahoo.com.
