Patricia Johnson

Patricia (Pat) Ann Johnson, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, was born on October 14, 1946, in Leeds, Alabama. As a child, her family relocated to Trenton, New Jersey, following her father Sammie Lang Jr.'s military reassignment.
Driven by a deep desire to provide a better life for her children, Pat pursued her professional dream and enrolled in the prestigious Saint Francis School of Nursing. She graduated at the top of her class in 1979 as a registered nurse. Pat went on to work at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, where she remained until her medical retirement. Her natural warmth, compassion, and empathy made her a deeply trusted caregiver and brought comfort to countless patients.
Raised in a close-knit family grounded in faith and community, Pat was a devoted member of Macedonia Baptist Church. She often shared her life motto: "You tried everything else, why not try God?"
Pat passed away peacefully at her home in Lawrence Township, NJ, on March 29, 2025, at the age of 78. She was predeceased by her parents, Queen Esther and Sammie Lang Jr.; her sister, Jean (Willie); her daughter, Stephanie; and her grandsons, Brian and Terrence.
