Joseph Daniel Johnson

1936 - 2017

Joseph Daniel Johnson, age 80, went to be with his wife in heaven on Tuesday, October 31, 2017. He passed away at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth. Joseph was born on November 23, 1936 to Beatrice Lambert Johnson in Prentiss County. He was a member of Smith Chapel Freewill Baptist Church.

He was an avid reader. His Bible was well worn. Joseph enjoyed visiting with people. He had good friends and he was a good friend.

Joseph is survived by his daughter Pam Johnson Harris of Booneville; two granddaughters Leah Harris Nabors (Robert) of Germantown, TN and Jill Harris of Nashville, TN; two great grandsons Ryker Nabors and Quinn Nabors of Germantown, TN; his sisters-in-law Venus Johnson and Emma Grove both of Booneville; his brother Tony Johnson (Cathy) of Lawrenceburg, TN; his niece Penny Johnson Stephens (Tony); and his nephew Marlin Cox (Angela) all of Booneville.
