Mrs. Martha Faye Johnson, age 84, born on October 19, 1941, in McCullough, Alabama to Otto and Effie Lee Green. She passed away on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, in Perdido, Alabama. Faye was a resident of Perdido, Alabama and had lived in Gulf Shores for many years. She was a graduate of Escambia County High School.
Faye was employed for many years at Vanity Fair and later was self-employed in Gulf Shores. She loves the simple joys of life, like floating down the creek on warm summer days and feeling the breeze while riding motorcycles through the mountains. Her weekends are filled with excitement, whether she's watching dirt track racing or cheering for Alabama Football and Nascar. Family time is precious to her, often spent fishing by the water or cooking out together. With a friendly smile, she never met a stranger, always welcoming new faces. Plus, her skills as a mechanic make her stand out; she can fix just about anything, blending her passions with practical talent.
She is survived by her two sons, Rickey Johnson of Perdido, Alabama and Randy Johnson of Perdido, Alabama; Faye was the proud grandmother of four granddaughters, Wendy Johnson, Leslie Jarman, Kayla Macks and Anna Smith; thirteen great-grandchildren; sister, Ann Sanks Shehan of Bay Minette, Alabama.
She is preceded in death by her son Rusty Johnson, her parents, Otto Greene and Effie Lee Greene, grandparents, Will and Lydia Hall; brothers, Douglas Greene, and Donald Greene; aunt and uncle Lamonte and Ethel McGhee; mother-in-law, Marie Johnson.
