Mary was born on July 2, 1927, in Davidson County, to the late Hugh Lindsey Miller and Emma Owen Miller. She worked as the bookkeeper for Johnson Electric but her passion in life was being a homemaker, caring for her family. Mary loved gardening, bowling, and was very active in her Church. At Center Hill Baptist, she was involved in Women on Missions, hosted the church Christmas carolers in her home, and was the president of the Young’s Bible School. She was a loving mother, and grandmother whose memory will be cherished forevermore. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, Gerald Johnson; a brother, Fred Miller; and two sisters, Ruth Fritts, and Mabel Mabry.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Evelyn King and husband John, of Hickory, Wayne Johnson and wife Judy, of North Myrtle, Keith Johnson and wife Alisa, of Lexington, and Carol Johnston and husband Blake, of GA; seven grandchildren, Mindy Miller and husband Craig, Alex King, Jay King, Matthew Johnson, Kelsey Johnson, Katie Johnston, and Hunter Johnston; four great-grandchildren, Hayden Miller, Seth Miller, Nina King, and Ari King; and two special nephews, Allen Mabry and Franklin Mabry.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Center Hill Baptist Church at 3759 NC-8, Lexington, NC 27292.
