Mary Johnson Obituary
The graveside service will be Tuesday, March 11, 2008, at 11 a.m. at Tri-Cities Memorial Gardens. Dr. Carl Gebhardt and the Rev. Gary Formby will be officiating. There will be a family memorial service in June.
Mrs. Johnson was preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd Johnson Sr. She was a graduate of the University of Alabama and a big fan of the Alabama teams. She was a member of First Christian Church. She was an avid rose gardener who shared her flowers with everyone. She was also a great cook. Mrs. Johnson was a very gracious lady and full of hospitality. She celebrated every holiday with her family, and she will be greatly missed.
She is survived by a daughter, Suzanne Scroggins (Derrell), Florence; a son, Dr. Lloyd Johnson Jr. (Joan), Florence; grandchildren, Mary Sue Ridgway (Alan), Dr. Lloyd Johnson III (Holly), Kristi Johnson Smith (Tim), Dr. Todd Johnson (Betsy), Ashley Johnson; great-grandchildren, James Alan Ridgway, Derrell Sidney Ridgway, Melissa Suzanne Ridgway, Alex and Lily Johnson, Ella and Sienna Smith and Gabrielle Johnson.

When I think of Mary Sue, I always remember how much she loved gardening and keeping the church grounds looking so nice. And when it got to where she wasn't able to physically do the work, I can remember Daddy getting a chair for her to sit on in the shade and doing for her all the things she wanted to do.
Although I'm sad for her passing and for your grief, I rejoice to know that her pain has ended and she has been reunited with her Lord and Savior.

I would just like for you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I really enjoyed taking care of Mrs. Johnson at the Cottage. She was a wonderful person. Thank you for the privilege of getting to know your mom. (Leca Hutto I worked nightshift.)
