Mrs. Annie Maude Johnson McRae was born December 4, 1948 to the parents of the late Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lee and Lorene Johnson of Buena Vista, Georgia.

After fighting a faith-filled fight, Maude entered into rest on Sunday, February 26, 2023. On February 8, 2023, before her untimely departure, Maude surrendered all and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. With this, she exhibited faith throughout her diagnosis by saying, “God Got This.” Her profession of faith was an encouragement to those by her side to the end. A daughter, Jennifer Lucy, three siblings, Bennie Lee Johnson, Willie C Johnson, Vivian Wilkes, have all preceded her in death.
