OH I LOVE ME SOME CLARA JOHNSON. I WORKED WITH HER AT ALBERT HILL IN THE OFFICE. SO SO SWEET WOULD GIVE YOU HER HEART. SHE WILL BE MISSED SO MUCH. TERRY HARRIS AND DAUGHTERS DEIDRE AND MARCIA HARRIS

So saddened to hear the news of the passing of your Mother. My deepest sympathies to your family!

My sympathy goes out to Jeannie, Deborah and the Family of Clara Patterson Johnson.
Ms. Johnson was a woman of strength and integrity. I remember the good ole Griffin Avenue days. A lady with a sweet spirit and beautiful soul. I wish the family peace to bring comfort and the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. --- Regina Johnson Payne

To the Johnson Clan, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. The Booker Family and the Johnson Family go back generations. My mother, Delores Oliver Booker and Clara Patterson Johnson graduated together from Armstrong H.S. class of '49. As soon as I told my mom of her passing she looked in her old high school yearbook to find the graduation picture of Clara. Debbie and Jeannie and I went to A.V. Norrell elementary school together, and Miss Clara and Mr. Elmo lived only doors apart from my Aunt Mozelle and Uncle Nelson. Her boys played with their boys. During this time of grieving, hold on to those memories of good times. May God grant you peace. Sincerely on behalf of the Booker Family Deborah Booker

We will miss Ms.Johnson! Strength and healing during this time when y'all hearts are heavy! God got her now, no more pain or suffering! Made God give y'all peace, loving memories of your mother that will dwell within y'all forever!! Harris Family

TO the family, Karl, Keith and Vincent Lipscomb send their condolences for the home going of your Mother. We will keep you in our prayers.

Mrs. Johnson was a sweet lady. She really brightened the front office at Hill. She was also very stylish and a nice person. I remember her showing me how to blend my makeup when I first wore it. May she Rest In Peace

I remember EJ speaking fondly of you one night when we were talking. When I asked him what did he call you, he said Gandy! Everyone calls her Gandy! Gandy you were always a joy to be around and I will miss seeing you.

Aunt Clara will be greatly missed. She was such a nice person. I have never heard anyone say anything negative about her. She was always pleasant to be around. RIP tell my mom and son hello.
