Mary Robison Johnson (Nana)
SHREVEPORT, LA - Mary Robison Johnson, 88, resident of Shreveport, LA, passed away on September 11, 2009 in Baton Rouge, LA. She was born on January 6, 1921, in Athens, AL, the youngest of nine children to Erskin Coleman and Linnie Otto Robison. In all that she did and was, as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, she exemplified the fruits of the Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.
A true servant of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Nana's life was dedicated to serving others. As an employee of Citgo Oil and McCord Oil, a Sunday School teacher at the University Church of Christ, and a willing hostess for any occasion, she lived to serve and give. All who came in contact with Nana were enriched by her presence.
