Our beloved mother, Iris Etta Williams Johnson, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
Iris was born on July 27, 1934, in Ft. Myers Florida. She later moved to Wakulla County in 1948, to stay with her Aunt and Uncle, after the passing of her parents, Robert and Lula Mae Williams.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Rev. Hayward Johnson; three brothers; three sisters and three sons in law.
Iris leaves behind one sister, Belle Cernich; five daughters, Iris Barbara Springer, Juanita Jimenez, Thersea Gray, Mary Ely and Delores Haifley.
Mourning her loss also are eleven grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren and many loved nieces and nephews.
She will be greatly missed, but there is comfort in knowing, she is in the arms of the Father.
