Maggie Copeland Johnson

Maggie Johnson, 85, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 28, 2017 at her daughter's residence in Champaign, Illinois.

Maggie was born on June 18, 1931 in Wrightsville, Georgia and called Warner Robins her home for most of her life.

Maggie was a selfless person who loved serving others, visiting family and friends, and loved her grandchildren to the moon and back.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harrison and Alice Wilson Copeland; her son, Gerald Allen Johnson; her sister, Jimmie Scarborough; and her brother, Jerry Copeland.

Maggie's memory will forever be treasured by her loving children, Perry Johnson (Sandra) of Macon and Judy Taylor (Denny) of Champaign, Illinois; grandchildren, Rachel Green of Brunswick, Tony Johnson (Julia) of Bonaire, Trevor Taylor (Teitah) of Champaign, Illinois, Charis Coli (Terry) of Glendale, California, Nathan Taylor (Rachel) of Muncie, Indiana, Shane Johnson of Ruckersville, Virginia, and Angela Bryant (Aaron) of St. Augustine, Florida; 14 great-grandchildren; brother, James Copeland of Titusville, Florida; sisters, Inell Burns of Cocoa, Florida and Joyce Reynolds of Titusville, Florida; and a number of adoring nieces, nephews, and extended family.
