On January 17, 2023, the Father called His daughter, Avis, to be finally home with Him forever more.
She leaves to cherish her memory: her busband, Willle I Johnson; her two children, Reese Andrews, and April Smith [Pareese]; four siblings, Sharon Johnson [Joe], Cassandra Arrighi, Alfred Andrews Jr., and Poppy Andrews, as well as numerous cousins, nephews, nieces, other relatives, and a host of friends.
Even though this servant of God, prayer warrior, daughter, wife, mother, aunt, and friend is no longer with us on the earth, we know that her soul is forever happy to be with her Heavenly Father and the king of Glory-ber Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ.
