Obituary
Evanglean Johnson was born March 20, 1936 to the late Lillie Willand Leroy Walker. She departed this life on September 12,2021. Evanglean was born and raised in Emerson, Arkansas, and was the third of four children, 2ofwhich preceded her in death: the late Henry D. Walker (Mae Lena) and the late Louise Harris. At an early age, she married the love of her life, the late Oree Johnson, Sr., in 1953. Oree and Evanglean enjoyed holy matrimony for 68 years. She was the hard rock of the Johnson family; always supporting her husband, children, and grandchildren with her excellent cooking, heart to heart talks, and support to any activities, especially the basketball games.
Evanglean was a dutiful servant in her community. After joining the Pine Hill CME Church as a young woman, she was actively involved and held several offices: church secretary, missionary, stewardess, and choir member. Asa community member, she sang for over 25 years as a member of the Emerson Interdenominational Choir (EIC) and was a member of the Order of Eastern Star, participating for many years. Evanglean took pride in her work. She learned her cooking skills at an early age at a restaurant formerly known as the Chatterbox. She continued to use this God given talent to service family, friends, and strangers. Evanglean moved onto other work endeavors, specifically, the Ansel Edmont Glove Factory, for approximately 25years. Upon the conclusion of her employment the Glove Factory, she began to nurture kids in the community by babysitting. Through all of these work experiences, she met many new people and made many friends along the way.
We believe mom has made it home to reunite with "her honey" Oree, Sr. She leaves to cherish her memories, three children, Elizabeth Ann Polk (Aldridge),Cathy Laverne Shaw(Hent), and Oree Johnson, Jr. (Sylvia), all of Emerson, 10 grandchildren, and16 great grandchildren; Mae Lena Johnson, sister, of Camden and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
