Isabel Johns

February 8, 2022

On February 8, 2022 Isabel Johns went to be with the Lord. She was preceded in death by her husband Harold Johns who died in 2010. Isabel is survived by her son Philip Johns, daughter Cynthia W. Warrick and son in law Robert G. Warrick Jr, her grandsons: Jason Ward, Scott Ward and Kevin Ward and granddaughter Jessica Self and her husband James Self and great-granddaughters Ireland and Avonlea. She lived with her daughter and her husband and enjoyed the home bible study every Tuesday night along with the company of her friends Louise Salmon, Barbara Osbourne, and Elaine Snyder. These friends were faithful in picking her up for church at Mint Hill Baptist and taking her out for lunches and breakfasts. She enjoyed writing poetry and had a children’s book published in 2013 entitled I’m Happy Being Me. Even though she dropped out of high school in the 11th grade to help her family financially, she decided to get her GED from Central Piedmont Community College at the age of 80. Growing up in New Jersey, she was raised by several different family members and experienced a very hard childhood. At the age of 15 she came to know the Lord as her Savior and was confident of being with Him in glory and expressed this at the very end. Although she reached the age of 98, she still enjoyed reading her kindle with the scriptures on it and talking to her friends. Isabel was known for her kindness and sweetness and her forgiving attitude. She will be greatly missed. Her family is looking forward to being together again in glory someday.
