Kim Johnson from reality TV series ‘Survivor-Africa’ has passed away. She was 79.

Her daughter Kerry Johnson Tichi confirmed the sad news to People on July 29. She said “Our mom leaves a legacy of strength, resilience, kindness and generosity.”

“She wore her rose colorized glasses right up until the end,” she continued. “She was the coolest mom and grandmother in the world. We will miss her forever…”

The winner of ‘Survivor- Africa’ Ethan Zohn took to Instagram in memory of his co-star.

“Rest in peace Kim Johnson,” he wrote. “It was a blessing to call you my friend and a privilege to experience the final tribal council with you.”

Johnson, a former school teacher, finished ‘Survivor-Africa’ in second place in 2002, right behind Zohr.

While she competed on the show, she was able to create a bond with her teammates, this strategy helped her make it to the final four. Then, she won two immunity challenges. She was 56 during the filming and was the oldest competitor to win the Final Immunity challenge and oldest female to represent in the Final Tribal Council. Also, she was the fan favorite of ‘Survivor- Africa’.

After Johnson finished competing on ‘Survivor’, she worked as a coordinator for an indoor tennis club and served as a volunteer for the blind and deaf community. She made her home in Oyster Bay, New York.

Rest In Peace
