Cassandra Johnson

CASSANDRA G. JOHNSON was born November 11, 1965 to Katie Johnson and Johnny McClain. She was the fourth child of 4 girls, and although she was the baby of the bunch, many often thought her to be the oldest due to her “take charge” disposition. She was a leader and one that cared for the well-being of others. Cassandra went home to be with the Lord on Friday, August 16, 2024 at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

CASSANDRA professed her faith in Christ and was baptized at Evans Hill Missionary Baptist Church Under the Pastorship of Pastor John P. West. She later united with Mt. Gilead Missionary Baptist Church under the Pastorship of Pastor Breonus Mitchell, where she remained until her passing.
