Vera Carolyn Perkins Johnson, age 72, 2124 LaCrosse Road, Ellaville, Georgia passed Saturday, January 14, 2023, at her home. 
 
Vera was born May 16, 1950, in Macon County, Georgia to the late Mr. Clarence Perkins, Sr. and the late Mrs. Precious Harpe Perkins.  She was a 1968 graduate of John Lewis High School of Ellaville, Georgia.  She retired from Cooper Lighting of Americus, Georgia in 2012 as an assembly line technologist.
 
She was married to Deacon Willie Clarence Johnson.  She was blessed to be the mother of one daughter and four grandchildren. 
 
Being under the guidance of her mother, Sister Precious Perkins, she followed her mothers’ footsteps in attending and serving in the Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Church.  After all the faithful members of Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church had passed away, and the doors were closed, but the memory lived on.  She later moved her membership to Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist Church of Americus, Georgia under the leadership of Elder Green and later Elder Hubbard, whereas she served faithfully until her health failed.
 
Survivors of her legacy of love and many fond memories include her husband, Willie Clarence Johnson, Ellaville, Georgia; her daughter Kimberly Perkins, Albany, Georgia; four grandchildren, Kaylon Holt (one she reared as her own child), Devon Perkins (Kailey Hudson), Kamaryn Battle, Jacksonville, Florida, Collin Kelly, Albany, Georgia; one great grandchildren, Devin Perkins, Jr.; three siblings, Annie Perkins Williamson, Ellaville, Georgia, Bernice Perkins Hill, North Carolina and Sylvester Perkins (Marie), Americus, Georgia; and a host of beloved nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

Deacon Johnson, Kim, & grandchildren, May God surround you all in His love in the days ahead. Vera will be dearly missed. I admired her beautiful spirit and her warm smile. I was blessed to be in her presence during bible study, she was a smart and sweet lady. She loved the Lord, and she loved people. Her wisdom was radiant when she spoke and she was wise like the elders. Well done thy good and faithful servant, well done!

One that comes into your life for a season and for a reason. Met Vera some years ago at Cooper Lighting. I really enjoyed working with her, a woman of few words that meant a lot. Had conversations with her about The Word of God, which she was very knowledgeable, learned a lot from her. She was a woman that believed in sharing whatever she had. Her lively hood was God, her family (Kim, husband and those grandchildren) Glad I had the opportunity to meet her. My sincere condolences is extended to her family. May the Word of God comfort, strengthen and keep you family in the next days, weeks, months and years ahead ❤️.
