Aletheia Heath Johnson, 93, of Statesboro, Georgia, passed away on February 5, 2023, at her home in Heathrow, Florida. She was born in Statesboro, Georgia, to the late Valder and Clydia (Roberts) Heath, and grew up on a farm with her brother and three sisters.
She graduated from Bulloch County High School and later married John C. Johnson, her husband of 59 years.
As a stay-at-home mom, she was a devoted mother and grandmother, always greeting each with her world-class hugs. She gave each of her children her love for reading and was never without a book at hand. She enjoyed puzzles of all kinds, music, and beautiful flowers. She especially enjoyed cooking for her family, and her fried chicken and chicken and dumplings are legendary among her children and grandchildren.
She will be remembered for her selflessness and infinite goodness. To know her was to love her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, J.C. Johnson, her sons, Kenton and Danny Johnson, her parents, Valder and Clydia Heath, her brother, Valder Heath, Jr., and sisters, Vergie Larrimore and Caroline Deal.
She is survived by her children, Sandra (Frank) Ciuba of Heathrow, Florida, Stanley (Gloria) Johnson of Surfside Beach, South Carolina, and Lynne (Robert) Collins, of Carthage, North Carolina; grandchildren, Jennifer Pelz, Jeff Ciuba, Doug Ciuba, Jessica Hawthorne, Shane Johnson, Wesley Johnson, Timothy Johnson, Sean Johnson, Danny Johnson, Jr.; sixteen great-grandchildren, her sister, Edna Mallard of Brooklet, Georgia, and numerous nieces and nephews.
