Albania Strickland Johnson Was Retired from Hamot Medical Center

Albania Strickland Johnson, 86, (address removed), passed away Monday, August 27, 2007, at Golden Living Center-Western Reserve.

She was born September 3, 1920, in Ellisville, Miss., daughter of the late Willie and Lela Allen Strickland.

A resident of Erie for over sixty years, she worked as a senior aid at the City Mission, cooked at a local restaurant and worked in the Housekeeping Department at Hamot Medical Center before retiring from there as a certified Nurse’s Aid.

Mrs. Johnson was a member of Second Baptist Church where she was a past Deaconess, a Sunday School Teacher and sang with the former #2 Chorus. She enjoyed cooking, canning, gardening, knitting, crocheting, was an excellent seamstress and bowled with the Poisettes Bowling League.

“Cabbage” as she was affectionately called by her family, was a “second mother” to her nieces and nephews and will be dearly missed by all.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her former husband, Thomas “T.J.” Johnson; a brother, James Strickland; and two sisters, Lilla Mae Price and Willie Etta Johnson.

She leaves to cherish her memory a brother, Robert Strickland and his wife Ruth, Erie; and many nieces (including Charity Johnson Tate whom she helped raise), nephews, cousins, relatives and friends. Friends may visit with the family Friday, 5 to 8 p.m., at Second Baptist Church, 757 E. 26th St., and may attend a funeral service at the church on Saturday, 11 a.m., conducted by Rev. Dr. Allen B. Green. Interment in Erie County Memorial Gardens.

Funeralization by Law Funeral Home, 1861 Buffalo Road.
