Yvonne Ann Johnson, age 75, of Martinsburg, WV, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 15, 2024. Born on June 28, 1949, in Middleburg, VA, to the late William Andre Strickland and Rosetta (Thornton) Strickland, she was lovingly raised by her mother and stepfather, Rosetta S. Bush and William Henry Bush, and grew up in a close-knit family. She attended the historic Douglas High School in Leesburg, VA, and with determination, she completed her studies, graduating from Falls Church High School in August 1990.

Yvonne accepted Jesus Christ at a young age and was baptized alongside her relatives at the First Baptist Church-Watson in Leesburg, VA. Roscoe and Yvonne Johnson were joined in holy matrimony on August 25, 1979, and spent several years raising family in Virginia.

After relocating to West Virginia, she became a member of Hope City Baptist Church in Martinsburg. She loved her new church home and deeply loved Bishop Justin P. Brown and First Lady Angela Brown. Yvonne was known as the life of any party and for bringing joy and energy to every gathering, whether it was a worship service or otherwise. She had a passion for singing in her church choir and riding her Harley motorcycle. She enjoyed attending events like the National Round Up and Daytona Beach Bike Week, where she treasured the good times with her motorcycle family. She loved traveling and watching "Family Feud" with Steve Harvey. After retiring, Yvonne and her beloved Pitbull, Bleu, became the neighborhood watch. She also loved her plants and often reminded Roscoe not to let them die.

In her professional career, Yvonne made a profound impact on everyone she worked with during her years at Bendix, USAA, and Omniplex. She was the mother to many in her office, including Carolyn at USAA, and loved her work brother, Tom, at Omniplex. Known for making the best coffee and running her copy room with the precision of a general, Yvonne was loved and respected by all who knew her.

Left to cherish her memory are her devoted husband of 45 years, Roscoe U. Johnson, Sr.; her children, Tina Robinson (Gilbert), Kisha Brown (Brian), and Roscoe Johnson Jr.; her grandchildren, Davante "Poonie," Pamela, Nazeeh, Trammell, Amari, Noah, Isaiah, Jihad, and Liam; and her great-grandchildren, Kallan and Khamari; her siblings, Clara Robinson (William "Cookie"), Aaron Bush (Nancy), and Anita Helm; her in-laws, Olethia Brown "Snooks," Louvenia Johnson, Dorothy "Dottie" Hurley, Orlean "Stacky" Tolen, and Mary "Tee" Johnson; as well as a multitude of dear nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. She held a special place in her heart for her niece, Pamela "Doodlebug" Brown, and her nephew, Kyle. Affectionately known as "Pop Pop" by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her legacy of love and warmth will be deeply missed.

The Visitation and Celebration of Life Service will take place on August 24, 2024, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, located at 6600 Old Centreville Road, Centreville, VA 20121.
