Johnson was a longtime member of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Fredericksburg, Texas, in the Diocese of West Texas. The Rev. Dick Elwood, interim rector of St. Barnabas, will preside at the July 13 Eucharist. The Rev. Stephen Kinney, former rector of St. Barnabas, will be the homilist.

Johnson will be further remembered on Saturday, July 14, at a worship service at River Bend Baptist Church, overlooking Lake Austin. Kinney will preach, with Elwood and the Rev. Dean Pratt, also a former rector of St. Barnabas, assisting in the service. On Sunday, a committal service will be held at the LBJ Ranch in Johnson City with Elwood presiding.

Johnson died at her home in Austin on Wednesday, July 11, at the age of 94.  She was well known as a champion of conservation; less well known may be her initiative in raising funds to beautify Washington, DC.  The $320 million Highway Beautification Bill, passed in 1965, was known as the "Lady Bird Bill."  Her efforts spread further as she was the leading force behind creating a hike and bike trail in Austin and then later with the beautification of Texas highways project by personally giving awards to highway districts that use native Texas plants. This project, nearly 30 years later, has provided the wildflowers along highways so well known in Texas.

Lady Bird Johnson was born Claudia Alta Taylor in Karnack, Texas. She received her nickname when her nanny commented that she was as "pretty as a lady bird." She and Lyndon Baines Johnson were married at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in San Antonio on November 17, 1934.
