Carol,
Hope this gets through to you
okay. You might have already heard about this from Ed Perry,
but got word earlier today from mutual friends, that Hilda
Wright Johnson passed away this morning. I know she'd had some
health problems over the years and just lost her mother earlier
this month. My friends are members of First Baptist Church,
Ocala, FL, where one of them is the Youth Pastor. Below is what
was sent to the church members. I'm sure a formal obituary will
follow in the next day or two.
Mrs. Hilda
Johnson, wife of our Pastor Emeritus, Dr. Ed Johnson, passed
away peacefully but suddenly this morning, May 21, 2014, while
in Newport News, Virginia, visiting family.
Mrs. Johnson exuded grace, class, and had a boundless love for our Lord and for people. We rejoice that she is now free from her physical limitations and struggles, but will markedly miss her sweet presence and encouraging smile. We ask for prayers for Dr. Johnson, their son, Walter, daughter-in-law, Margie, and for their grandchildren: Sara, Zachary, and Sam. Funeral services are scheduled for May 27th, 11:00AM at FBC. Visitation is 10:00AM.
Thanks for everything you do
to keep all of us NNHS alumni informed. You are the best!
Love,
Sandi
Oh, Sandi, I am
completely shocked to hear this! Thank you so much for letting
me know.

Dear Carol,
It is with heavy heart that I
inform you of the passing of Hilda Ann Wright Johnson ('64).
She was the wife of Rev. Ed Johnson ('64), and sister of Davis
Wright ('61) and Pauline Wright Perry's ('67). Her funeral will
be in Ocala, FL. on
Tues, May 27 at the First
Baptist Church Ocala with her husband, Ed, performing the
funeral proceedings for the celebration of her life. As soon as
the Ocala newspaper (The Star Banner) prints her obit I will let
you know.
Thanks again for all that you
do.
Eddie Perry ('65)
Eddie, I am still stunned by
this sad news! I didn't realize Hilda was ill. Please extend my
deepest sympathies to Pauline and the rest of the family. This
happening so soon after her mother's death is almost too much to
bear. Remember always that you are not alone, and the Lord will
support you through this latest trial...
Carol,
The obituary should be in the Ocala Star Banner tomorrow. We believe Hilda Ann actual passed away do to heart failure even though she was taking chemo for cancer. She had had a double mastectomy and was taking the chemo as a protective measure... Eddie Thank you again,
Eddie.

Blessed Assurance
Lyrics by
Fanny J. Crosby (24 Mar 1820 - 12 Feb 1915). 1873
Music by
Phoebe
P. Knapp (09 Mar1839 - 10 July1908), 1873
Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Refrain
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
