I was shocked to find out that Sister Ora had passed and I hadn’t heard. When she lived in Milwaukee, WI, she was a member of Lighthouse Gospel Chapel on 35th & North Ave, James H. Carrington, Pastor. We shared many conversations; I could have been one of her siblings due to my age. We kept in contact when she moved to Arizona but lost contact when she moved with her daughter to California. I enjoyed talking and laughing with her and her saying to me would be, “and you know what”, then she’d continue her say.
Sister Ora was a very kindhearted and sweet soul. I miss her and others who knew her better than me misses her too.
Condolences to her children and other family members and friends.
She’s a soldier whose battle is done; called to her eternal rest.
My friend and Sister-n-Christ JESUS,
Mrs. Olivia Ross, MKE, WI

My husband, my sister, and I send our condolences to the family. My mother and Mrs. Johnson were school mates from a young age and remained friends over the course of their lives, so Mrs. Johnson was family to us. I can remember visiting Chicago with my parents, and they had to make the trip to Milwaukee to see their dear friend. Likewise Mrs. Johnson would make it a point to visit us when she was in the area. When my mom turned 70, I made arrangements for Mrs. Johnson to fly to Atlanta and surprise my mom for her birthday. When they saw each other – they hugged and giggled like two school girls. The last time they visited with one another was when my mom and I went to visit her in Arizona…..once again they had a lot of fun reminiscing about their exploits together. When my mom was suffering from dementia, Mrs. Johnson would call and check on her. Some days they laughed and talked, other days the conversation was brief due to my mom’s memory lapse. Nevertheless, Mrs. Johnson was kind, compassionate and always patient with her. I will always appreciate that and remember her with much love!
