Leah Johnson
Early Saturday morning, July 8, 2017, Leah Johnson, 89 years of age born on June 3, 1928, the Matriarch of eleven natural birth children, went to be in the presence of our heavenly Father to rest and to receive all her rewards. She fell asleep peacefully and pain free in her bed at her residence in Kings Mountain, NC where she lived for over 30 plus years. She was raised in the Tryon School district by her awesome mother, Paulina Hallman. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Thomas Hazel Lee Johnson; son, Gary Fain Johnson; daughter, Rhonda Johnson Goodwin; and sister, Faye Hallman.
Yet she was survived by nine other children, six daughters and three sons. Children include, Paulette Charles (John), Pastryl Robbs, Malva Johnson (Kenneth), Meah Bell (Sammy), Chiquita Womick (Michael), Tonjua William (Ronald), Kerry Johnson (Barbara), Berwyn Johnson (Sharon), and Byron Johnson (Elaine). She is also survived by a daughter-in-law, Kathy Johnson; son-in-law, Alvin Goodwin; thirty-two grandchildren; forty-one great grandchildren; two great great grandchildren; and sister-in-law, Alice Johnson.

She will be missed but never forgotten from the hearts, memories, and prayers of hundreds of her close relatives and friends. She was a member of King of Kings Community Church in Shelby. Mrs. Johnson found great pleasure in her family and grandbabies. She was a retired beautician and enjoyed floral arranging, fishing, and traveling.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 2 PM at First Baptist Church with Rev. Ricky Collins officiating. Burial will follow at Wesley Chapel Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Friday, July 14, 2017 beginning at 9:00 am at the home at 2465 County Line Rd. in Kings Mountain.
