Mary was born to the union of Viola Longmire Johnson and Benjamin Johnson, May 23, 1942, in Daphne, AL. In early childhood Mary was educated at Baldwin County Training School. She moved to Enterprise, AL in her early teens and after graduation from high school attended Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach, FL. In her professional life Mary was an educator and caregiver.  Mary was preceded in death by her father, Benjamin Johnson, and mother Viola Longmire Johnson Vickers, and her brother Benjamin “Bobby” Johnson. Maternal grandparents Jasper and Minnie Longmire and paternal grandparents, Mary, and Andrew Johnson, all of Daphne, AL. And her stepfather, O. Z. Vickers, Enterprise, AL and stepbrother, Donald Vickers, Montgomery, AL.

Mary has a host of loving cousins, special cousin, Jerome Pruitt of Daphne, AL, special friends, David Petway and Nichelle Moore, Mobile, AL and a devoted church family. Mary’s gentle and quiet demeanor endeared her to children and many of them still tell stories about what she taught them. She was an avid reader and enjoyed Bible Study and crossword puzzles. She had a quick and whimsical sense of humor and enjoyed telephoning relatives and friends around the country, just to keep in touch. Mary loved her family and her family loved her deeply.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

“Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs, the good life I lived while I was strong”
