She will be missed by all her family, especially her daddy with whom she had a special bond. She loved the family farm and enjoyed taking long walks through the woods.

She was extremely bright and creative with special talents in singing, playing guitar, art, and writing music and poetry. She also enjoyed spending time with her best friend of 20+ years, Cindy Wilson.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Edwin Hugh Johnson, a life long citizen of the Hopewell-Pisgah Community, Smith-field.
Mary Katherine's mother works with the Wayne County Public Schools. She is presently a media coordinator at Northwest Elementary School, but has had various positions in her 37 years of service.
The family will receive friends Saturday at the church following the service and at other times the family will be at 5346 Radford Road, Lucama.
