John Vaughn Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 12, 2009.
John Wesley Vaughn (Archie) son of the late Henry and Jannie Vaughn was born on July 4, 1936 in Oswego, South Carolina. He attended Lincoln High School in Sumter, South Carolina. John accepted Christ at an early age when he joined Clark Methodist Church in Oswego, South Carolina. This is where he met and married his sweetheart Willie Mae (White) Vaughn in 1955. In 1964 along with his family, he moved to Elizabeth, New Jersey wehre he became employed by J & M Motors of Elizabeth, New Jersey for many years. He was later employed by Smith Cadillac also in Elizabeth and finally retired from McGuire Cadillac of Woodbridge, New Jersey. Later in life he rejoined First Baptist Church of Linden, New Jersey of which he had previously been a member. John Vaughn departed this life on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 after a long illness. He was preceded in death by his lovely wife of many years, Willie Mae, 3 brothers, Thomas, James and William and 1 sister, Sweetie Mae Dixon. John leaves to cherish his loving memories, 1 brother, Herbert Vaughn of Sumter, SC; 4 daughters, Jessie Muhammad of Linden, NJ, Delores Davis of Elizabeth, NJ, Annette Woods of Sumter, SC, Tyrita S. Stuckey of Elizabeth, NJ and 2 sons-in-law, Hassan Muhammad and Alexander Woods; 8 grandchildren, Jerome, Shaheed, Wazir, Kareem, Joshua, Samiyyah, Terry and Marques; 1 great grandchild; 2 goddaughters, Diann Jones and Samone L. English and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends. The Lord is too wise to err and too just to be unjust. God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were getting too hard to climb, So He gently closed John's loving eyes and whispered, "It's finished. Peace be thine."
