Nancy Johnson Obituary

Nancy M. Johnson, 80, of Williamsburg, VA, passed away on September 28, 2023. She was born on February 4, 1943, in Norfolk, VA, to the late Mary Deans and Claude Marshall.

Nancy was an exceptional human being who embodied kindness, generosity, and a fun-loving spirit. Her selfless nature was unparalleled, and she devoted her life to her family duties, primarily as a homemaker. Her warmth and unconditional love were felt by all who were fortunate enough to cross her path, making her a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her legacy of kindness and love will forever be remembered and treasured.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Stuart Johnson. Nancy was a devoted mother to her daughter, Kelly Stanley, and son-in-law, Hardy Stanley, as well as her son, Robert Johnson, and daughter-in-law, Melanie Johnson. Her three grandsons, Zach Stanley, Ian Stanley, and Evan Stanley, brought her immense joy and pride. Nancy was also blessed with six siblings, including Rosaline Harris, Peggy Strong, Neil Marshall, George Marshall, Michelle Marple, and Alice Yandle, who all held a special place in her heart. She will be deeply missed by her nieces and nephews, who will always remember her kindness and warmth. Nancy's memory will be cherished by all who knew her, as she left an indelible mark on the lives of those around her.

Dear Johnson Family,
We are so saddened to hear of Nancy's death. She was a beautiful woman, both outside and in her heart and soul. She was always smiling and happy and had nice things to say about everyone and every thing. Plus, she hosted the best Super Bowl parties - when we lived near you in Vienna, VA! I know how much you will miss her.
Love, Betty and John Lewis. And Tyson Lewis
