Sarah Johnson Obituary

Lord make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee; verily, every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Psalm 39:4-5

Sarah Ella Johnson was born November 6, 1935, in Fannin, Mississippi, to Mary Myers Johnson and John C. Johnson. She confessed her life to Christ in 1954 at Rising Sun Baptist Church under Pastor William Harvey. She attended Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA, and also went to Delta Voc. Tech, where she received her CNA license.

Sarah became a member of First Kingdom Missionary Baptist Church. She really loved her church home. She worked at Watson Hotel while still working at Madison Parish Hospital until the end – over 46 years.
