Parker County’s Heather Johnson
grew up in Willow Park and gradu-
ated from Weatherford High School.
Today, she is a graduate of Baylor
University with a Bachelors in
Psychology, works as a realtor for
HBS Real Estate, and had volunteered
for Parker Paws Animal Rescue,
which she will be fundraising for in
partnership with Fish Creek.
Before real estate, Johnson worked
in sales at an engineering firm in Fort
Worth. After landing the job though,
she realized she wasn’t passionate
about her work and made the bold
decision to switch her career path.
Since the change, Johnson is not only
happier but successful in her new
job. During her first full year as an
agent she sold over $3.7 million and
no longer has to commute out of her
hometown. “I grew up here and that’s
part of why I love working here,” said
Johnson. “It’s a great group of people,
and watching it grow and expand
into what it’s about to become, it’s
just great to see the small-town feel
that we still have.”
When she isn’t working, Johnson
spends time contributing to the
community. By chance, she became
involved with Parker Paws. Before
she became a volunteer, Johnson
lived in an apartment that didn’t
allow animals. Though she didn’t
have a pet, the policy still posed an
issue because she couldn’t take in
animals temporarily either.
“I’ve always been a dog person;
I grew up as an animal lover. Stray
dogs always seemed to find me,
so Parker Paws would always help
me when I found them. So, when I
finally got my own place and could
take them in and help them, I joined
the group and have been fostering
ever since,” she said. “I’ve been with
Parker Paws for three years now. I
helped run the dog program for a
while, I’ve been a dog foster, and,
because I’m a realtor, I have that flex-
ible time [and] I help with whatever
needs to be done during the day,
whether it’s assessing dogs, transport-
ing dogs, things like that.”
Johnson has raised funds for the
organization before. Most recently
she donated 5 percent of her sales
commissions for homes closed during
the month of August. She is planning
a barrel race in September, a wine
dinner at Fish Creek, and is working
to organize a potential concert series.

Carol Cain is a Parker County native
through and through, living in
Weatherford most of her life after her
parents moved her here when she
was in kindergarten. The Weatherford
High School alumnus received
her cosmetology license during
high school, and attended both
Weatherford College and Tarleton
University after high school.
“I’ve been a hairdresser for
35 years,” Cain explained. “I also
worked as a flight attendant from
2002 to 2009 for Delta Airlines,
while still doing hair three days a
week. I currently work at Hair on the
Square here in Weatherford, for 18
years.”
Cain is very active in the commu-
nity as a chamber ambassador and
active in the Weatherford Noon
Lions Club as a member for 20
years. Cain is also very active in her
church, Willow Park Baptist. She
loves to spend time with her family,
including her four grandchildren:
Marybell, Mac Lee, Maylee Louise
and Maxden. She is excited to be
participating in our Sweet Charity
event and raising money for her
charity, the Careity Foundation.
“It’s a wonderful fun event to
raise money for our charities and
make others aware of what they do
to actually help others. We don’t
always see the pain people are going
through, physically and financially,”
Cain said.
As a longtime hairdresser, Cain
knows about the struggles people
with cancer go through, because she
gives a listening ear to her clients
who have either struggled with
cancer themselves or had a family
member who has struggled with it.
She always tries to let them know
