Mary Ellen (Johnson) Amerson

Mary Ellen Johnson was born to Ellis Johnson, Sr. and Laura Mae Hopper on June 1, 1957, in Kennett, Missouri.  She transferred to heaven in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on April 29, 2024.

Mary leaves to mourn her passing, her husband, Larry Amerson, of 28 years, a very good husband and also seven children: Anita Johnson of Caruthersville, Terrance Johnson of Charleston, MO, Jammie Johnson of Caruthersville, Mindy Jones of Cape Girardeau, MO, Leola Jones of Caruthersville, James Jones of Menifee, CA, and Stephanie Jones of Clarkton, MO.

Mary gave her life to Jesus years ago and stayed right there until He called her home.  She was a hard worker on the farm and in factories.  She loved and cared for her husband, Larry, and all her family. 

She is gone from the earth but never from the heart of her family and friends.
