Obituary

Jeweldine Orpha Johnson
(March 21, 1927 - February 4, 2018)

JEWELDINE ORPHA JOHNSON, 90, of Milton, W.Va., sang in her heart for the last time, "Precious Lord Take My Hand." She is now united with her Lord and Savior, and her loved ones. She has left this world of sufferings. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lonnie and Myra Brown Bledsoe, her loving husband, Nando "Jr." Johnson, a very special daughter, Regena Johnson Napier, and a great-grandson, Dalton Bills. She also was preceded by all seven siblings, Sherrell Bledsoe, Darrell Bledsoe, Leon Bledsoe, Melvin Bledsoe, Gladys Ray, Faye McComas and Mildred Wetherholt. She is survived by her daughters, Darlene Finley (Eugene) of Milton, Irma Lovejoy (Tom) of Salt Rock, Tamra Browning (Paul) and Adina Caldwell (Jim), both of Hamlin; nine grandchildren, Laundell Finley (Amy), Latisha Smith (Brad), Lawanna Adkins (Todd), Tessa Cooper (Jeff), Lee Ann Bills (Noah), Keith Browning (Kelly), Justin Browning, Alexis Jones (Trey) and Chelsea Caldwell (Richard); 10 great-grandchildren, Mackenzie, Gavin, Bralyn, Laci, Baylee, Jayden, Rebecca, Chloe, Ethan, Josie, and one unborn great-grandson, Case. She was stricken with a horrific bout of shingles during her last months here. This debilitated her body to the point of death. Her one wish was to tell everyone she knew to get the shingles vaccination to maybe prevent the pain and suffering she endured. Through it all, her faith never wavered. She would tell everyone that God must have just chosen her to have the pain. Jewel was known for her kindness and faithfulness to her church and family. She never spoke an unkind word about anyone even though they may have done her wrong. She exemplified the life of Christ in her daily walk. She served her whole life at Enon Baptist Church. She served as Sunday School teacher, clerk and choir leader for many years. She was the oldest member by age and record of membership. She was a stay at home mother that spent her life working hard to give her family the best life of love they will ever know. She will be missed more than words can express. Funeral services will be conducted at 4 p.m. Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at the Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel, Barboursville, with Pastor Mark Finley officiating. Burial will be in Enon Cemetery. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. A special thank you to her brother-in-law, Brent Johnson, for his daily visits to check on her. Also a thank you to Kandy Finley, Karen Adkins and Brenda Newman for their kindness in the caregiving for her.
