Mrs. Elsie Johns

September 9, 2020

Mrs. Elsie Johns went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 9, 2020 at the age of ninety-nine. Born and raised in New York, Elsie lived in the region until recently when she moved to South Carolina to be near her daughter. She was a devoted mother and employee, and a woman of great character, intelligence, and determination. An avid bowler, she continued to bowl well into her eighties. She came to know the Lord Jesus and walked out her faith in ways that endeared her to her church family, friends and neighbors. She will be remembered for her wisdom, her willingness to give, and for her wonderful laugh. Her legacy includes the knowledge of how important it is to be an independent thinker, with a heavy dose of common sense, responsibility and caring. She was the mother of Monica, Raymond Jr. (deceased), and Joseph. She was predeceased by her husband Raymond Sr., as well as her two brothers and her sister. In addition to Monica, those left to cherish her memory include nieces, nephews, a grandson, and a host of friends, co-workers and church family members. There will be a private burial service, with a Zoom memorial service to be scheduled in the near future. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Life Church, 7125 Collamer Rd, East Syracuse NY, 13057, or online at https://www.lifechurchcny.com/give. Please leave the family your condolences and prayers. The Johns family, acknowledges with grateful appreciation, all of your kind expressions of love and sympathy. Thank you for helping us care for our families. A. A. Dicks, Sr. and Staff.
