Mary Jones Johnson, daughter of the late Annias and Mollie Bradshaw Jones, was born on April 29, 1915 in Southampton County.

God turned the sunrise into sunset for Mary during the late night on June 2, 2005 at 11:47 p.m., when she expired from her earthly home. She was predeceased by her husband, William Johnson, sisters, Etta Warren and Lovie Dempsee and a brother, Herman Scott.
