Ms. Sherry Johnson

December 22, 1957 - September 7, 2016

Today we pause to say "Good-Bye" to our beloved Sherry Johnson. Sherry was born December 22, 1957 in Stanton, TN to the late Will Howard and Ella Mae Johnson: she was the fourth of eight children. Sherry was educated in the Tipton County School System, where she was a graduate of Covington High School. Upon graduating, she received her college education from Lane College in Jackson, TN, where she pledged with the Zeta Phi Beta- TAU Gamma Chapter. She dedicated her life to helping others in her professional life as a State of Tennessee Social Worker with the Department of Human Services. Sherry accepted Christ as her personal Savior and united with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Stanton, TN, where she remained a faithful member until she moved to Memphis, TN. While in Memphis, she joined the Willing Souls M. B. Church. Later, Sherry returned to Stanton and continued her membership at Mt. Zion. Sherry's passion was making her nieces and nephews happy by doing things for them. Her greatest joy was working for Christ. Sherry leaves to cherish her sweet memories, two brothers, Reginald Johnson of Detroit, MI and Gary (Michelle) Johnson of Memphis, TN; five sisters, Linda Smith of Mason, TN, Lisa ( Dan) Wilson of Covington, TN, Sandra (Bobby) Shanklin and Willadene Bethea (whom she lived with) both of Jackson, TN, and Tina (Robert) Jones of Brownsville, TN; one very special friend stuck close to Sherry from the beginning until the end of her illness; and we want him to know that we love him dearly for all the kindness that he showed our beloved Sherry, "Mr. Roy Clayton," and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
