Beatrice Miller Johnson, the daughter of the late O. B. Miller and Janie Pearl Faulk Miller, was born June 25, 1943, in Brundidge, Alabama. She departed this life on Friday, October 28, 2016 at Trident Medical Center, North Charleston, South Carolina.

"Bea", as she was known to many, received her education in the public schools of Berkeley County, SC.

She accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior and was a member of Moncks Corner A. M. E. Church.

Beatrice was united in holy matrimony to Paul Johnson.  This union was blessed with eight children; two sons, Benjamin Elijah and Marty Dwayne preceded her in death.

"Bea" was a loving and dear mother to her children. She loved children and nurtured many children throughout the years.
