After a life of love and quiet grace, Lucille Johnson, 99, has passed.
Below, the family shares some of what made her life meaningful.
Lucille entered this world in 1914 — the start of a journey that would span 100 years.
Lucille held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Those who live by belief leave a different kind of mark.
