Whereas, Reverend Mrs. Brodie Reeves Johnson died on Tuesday, February 15, 1994; and
Whereas, Mrs. Johnson, a resident of West Columbia, was born on May 14, 1916, in Chapin, the daughter of Mr. Joe Reeves and Mrs. Minnie Mayers Reeves; and
Whereas, she was a faithful member of Stonewall Holiness Church in Chapin, where she served as the assistant pastor for many years; and
Whereas, she was the dedicated and devoted housekeeper for the Joe Graves and his grandson, Senator Joe Wilson, family for forty years prior to her retirement; and
Whereas Pastor Johnson was the devoted and loving wife of Elder Johnnie Lee Johnson for fifty-five years, having been married in Chapin; and
