Mrs. Alice Louise Peppers Johnson, 95, wife of 60 years to the late Dewey Frank Johnson, passed from this life into her heavenly home on Friday, May 27, 2016.

Mrs. Johnson was born on November 12, 1920, in Wilkes County to the late Clifford Wilce Peppers and Lilah Mae Bradford Peppers. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, four brothers: Dorsey, Grady, Jesse, and Walter; and one sister, Marigene Holcombe.

Johnson and his wife Betty, both of Elberton, GA; brother, Talmage Ray Peppers of West Chester, PA; thirteen grandchildren; and sixteen great-grandchildren.

Along with Dewey, she was also involved in the Gideons International, the Farm Bureau and the Rural Letter Carriers Association. She also served as a Pink Lady at Elbert Memorial Hospital. All who knew her loved her because she always showed love and kindness to all she met. She enjoyed nothing better than to share with others her time, her wonderful homemade food, and her resources.
