Lula Bass-Johnson Obituary
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Lula Mae Bass-Johnson, a cherished resident of Decatur, Georgia, who departed this life on Friday, February 20th, 2026, at the age of 91. Lula Mae was born on Tuesday, January 22nd, 1935, in the quaint town of Cottonton, Alabama, where she first began her journey of spreading warmth, kindness, and wisdom to those around her.
Educated and driven by a passion for nurturing young minds, Lula Mae pursued a lifelong career as a school teacher. She dedicated over four decades to the Bibb County Schools Systems, where she became a beacon of knowledge and encouragement to countless students, colleagues, and families. Her commitment to education and her nurturing spirit will always be remembered and treasured by those she touched.
Lula Mae possessed a heart of gold and a selfless devotion to her family, students, and community. Her laughter could light up a room, and her unwavering faith inspired many. She was a devoted mother, a loving grandmother, a cherished sister, and a steadfast friend. Her life was a testament to the profound impact one person can have through love and dedication.
Lula Mae's life will be celebrated by those she leaves behind, who will continue to hold her memory dear and strive to uphold the values she embodied so beautifully. Her legacy of love, kindness, and wisdom endures in the hearts of all who knew her.
Funeral arrangements have been respectfully entrusted to Gregory B. Levett & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory- South Dekalb. As Lula Mae is laid to rest, we invite all who knew and loved her to join us in remembering her remarkable life.
In honoring the wishes and spirit of Lula Mae, let us all pledge to continue her legacy of love and education, inspiring future generations just as she did throughout her extraordinary life. May she rest in eternal peace.

When I heard about Mrs. Johnson passing. It brought me back to memory lane when they lived in the Ben Hills area of Southwest Atlanta. My parents (Andrew and Eunice Starke) and the Johnson came from the Phenix City, Alabama area. So, our families would break bread together after church on Sunday. At Easter time, we would went to Stone Mountain park for the Easter Egg Hunt. There were many times where our families would get together to have fun.
Mr. Nathan Johnson and family, the Starke Seven sends love and prayers on your loss.

My sincere condolences to my dear family in their loss. I was deeply saddened by the news of Lula's passing. She will ever be missed by all those that had the pleasure of knowing her. I will always remember the times that my family spent at her home. She was always a gracious host and her smile and laughter always filled her home. Her biscuits and preserves were always a treat and the stories that accompanied them always made you feel warm and welcomed. I know her cousin Betsy was waiting with open arms for her when she made it to heavens gates. Good night cousin Lula, I'll see you in the morning.

I would like to send my sincere condolences to Nathan Johnson and the Johnson family. Lula was loved by all she knew. Her meals were things talked about for years. We could not come south without stopping by the Johnson's home and getting some fig preserves she had at the house. I know she and my mom are up in heaven talk about their husband and sharing stories. My heart is saddened by her passing, but I rejoice in knowing she is resting in the arms of the Lord.
