Mary Ellen, growing up in the same house, you were more of an older sister than a cousin. You always looked out for me, and I'll remember you

Mary Ellen Moore and her brother Edward were raised by our parents Frances & Herbert "Hoppy" Johnson, she was more than a cousin to us, she was an older sister, who helped the younger members of the Johnson family. She was sweet, kind and very caring, soft spoken and a beautiful person inside and out. I know her children, grandchildren, sister Rita, cousins and her many friends will miss her deeply. Although we've lost a relative, God has gained another angel... We love you very much Mary Ellen.... Calvin, Don & Tom Johnson.
