On October 16, 2018, the Lord called you home to his final resting place after a lengthy illness. Viola Vera Johnson White was the daughter of the late Walter and Mary Hester Johnson. She was one of twelve children; Leon (deceased), Marylene (deceased), Lillian (deceased) Charles (deceased), Minnie (deceased), John Edward (deceased), James Robert (deceased), Irene (deceased), Addie (deceased), William (Joe) (deceased) and Della.

"Vi" or "Sock" as she was affectionately known, was born May 5, 1928 in Calvert County Maryland.

Viola was educated in the Calvert County public schools.

"Vi" enjoyed baking her famous homemade rolls, pies and gingerbread.
