Her face was well known in most of the libraries between Valdosta and Atlanta.

    Mrs. Johnson was a very intelligent woman who was a voracious reader and lifelong learner and enjoyed arts and crafts projects, gardening and all forms of music particularly piano. She especially treasured the time spent watching her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren learn and grow. Mrs. Johnson was a member of the Harmony Baptist Church.

    She was predeceased by her beloved sister, Donnie Virginia Westberry Bynum and her devoted husband Bill as well as Belle Polk and Sonny and Bobbie Stephenson, her lifelong best friends in this world. She is survived by her three children and their spouses, MSgt. USAF (Ret.) William F. Johnson, III and Janet Johnson of Cotton, Carol and Tom Giddens of Kennesaw and J. Steven Johnson, MD of Thomasville, grandchildren and their spouses, Mitzi Johnson Howell and Joey Howell, Andrew and Cassie Johnson, Kevin Johnson, Casey Giddens, Kelly Giddens and Zak Johnson, great grandchildren, Taylor and Dylan Howell, Dallas and Mike Howell, and Shelley, Drew, Daniel, Matthew and Naomi Johnson, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Arminda Morrison of Valdosta, Betty Greene of Rome, Nancy and Jack Allen of Valdosta, and Jim Brantley of Valdosta, Thomas and Margie Johnson of Valdosta, Robert and Peggy Johnson of Brooks County, numerous nieces and nephews and lifelong friend, Joe Polk of Douglas.
