She leaves to mourn her passing: her daughter, Georgia (Lewis) Medlock, Folkston, Ga.; three grandchildren; eight great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren; a special, close niece that was like her daughter, Toshia Hamilton who took care of her as well as the other family members that loved her dearly.

There will not be a wake/visitation on Friday, however, her remains will lie in state one hour prior to services on Saturday at the church.

Johnnie Mae was one of a kind.
She never needed words to teach us love.
Though she could not hear or speak, she understood us - and we understood her.
Her kindness spoke louder than any voice ever could.
A gentle, patient, faithful but firm matriarch who poured into generation after generation.
Her love was seen, felt, and lived.

*"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."* - Proverbs 31:25

Deeply loved. Forever missed. I will always love you and remember what you instilled in all of us.
