Isidora Johnson Obituary

ISIDORA LOUISE JOHNSON "Wezzie" Age 58 of Boynton Beach, passed away after a brief illness Thursday morning July 17, 2003 at JFK Medical Center, where she worked for 35 years. Mrs. Johnson was born in Nassau, Bahamas November 29, 1944, and has been a resident of Boynton Beach since 1956. Louise was a dutiful wife, a loving mother, grandmother, sister and unconditional friend. As the matriarch of her family, she provided wise counsel and left a legacy of kindness, wisdom strength and grace. Although 51 nautical miles, physically separated her from her Bahamian roots, the distance did nothing to diminish her strong sense of devotion to her family members in the Bahamas. Her home was their hotel, her transportation their taxi and her kitchen their restaurant. Left to cherish the memories of this remarkable woman are her devoted husband, James, Sr.; one son, James, Jr. (Veronica); one daughter, Marsha Jones all of Boynton Beach; one brother, Attorney Jacob A. Rose of Lake Worth; four sisters, Helen Rose Thomas and Madie Razz of Boynton Beach, Lenora Rose (Dickie) of Delray Beach and April Gent of Pt. St. Lucie; one mother-in-law, Bertha Johnson of Boynton Beach; two uncles; six aunts; seven brothers- in-law; four sisters-in law; eight grandchildren and a host of loving nieces, nephews, grieving relatives and friends. Homegoing Services will be held on Saturday July 26, 2003 11 AM at New Mt. Zion Baptist Church 221 NW 8th Ave., Boynton Beach, Rev. Samuel Read, Pastor. Viewing will be held at the church Friday, July 25, 2003 from 6 - 8 PM. STRAGHN & SON TRICITY FUNERAL HOME in charge of arrangements.
