Mary Johnson

Mary Johnson, "Nanmama," age 93 went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, October 21, 2024. Since she was young, she was an active member of Rehoboth Baptist Church where she taught a Children's Sunday School Class for over 50 years. She also volunteered in Vacation Bible School. She worked for the DeKalb County School System for 23 years.

The children she worked with all called her "Miss Mary" and loved her as much as she loved them. She enjoyed family vacations and trips with her husband and their friends. Faith, family, and friends were the focus of Mary's life.

She was "cherished" by her four daughters, Debbie Capes, (Terry), Vicki Foster (George), Susan Jackson (Andy), and Sheila Bishop (Alan); seven grandchildren, Jeremy Capes (Amanda), Lauren Kitenplon (Aaron), Nicole Bowman (Sam), Brandon Jackson, Brett Jackson, Amanda Alexander (Dan), Ryan Bishop (Kasie); and 12 great-grandchildren; Madi, Ella, Jase, Weston, Elliot, Blake, Austin, Ryleigh, Greyson, Lainey, Hudson, and Max; her brother-in-law, Harold (Gerry) Johnson, and her sister-in-law, Jean Wilson.
