Life Reflection

Elder Albert Lee Johnson, was born to the late Porter and Ozelyo Johnson on November 16, 1941, in Marion County, South Carolina. Elder Johnson answered the call to go to his heavenly Father on July 31, 2025.

Albert Lee was educated in the Marion County School System and worked for 15 years at Wellman. He also worked at Spartan for 15 years. Albert drove truck for over 3 decades and was a faithful and committed worker.

Albert Lee accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was a committed worker for the Lord. He served faithfully as a Deacon and was later ordained as an Elder at Zion Holiness Church under the auspices of Pastor Sarah Simon Arnold. He eventually took on the position as Pastor after the transition of Pastor Arnold. Albert was committed to his family and loved ones. He had a heart of sincerity and love for others that was expressed towards everyone he met. It was rarely an occasion that when you saw him that he was not talking about the Lord and how good He was.

Albert leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife of the home, Sondrafe Johnson; three daughters, Angela Davis of Walnut Cove, NC, Sondra (John) Golffin of Charleston, SC; an adopted daughter, Sheila Simon of Winston Salem, NC;  four sons, John Woodberry and Darren Woodberry both of Cocoa, FL, Albert Jermaine Johnson of Gresham, SC and Jarrett Johnson, Johnsonville, SC; siblings, Betty Hal of Chicago, IL, Jerome (Ella) Johnson of Andrews, SC,  Pamela Johnson of Columbus, OH and Marie (McDuffie) Bartelle of Florence, SC.

Albert was preceded in death by an infant son, Baby Johnson; a sister Mary Richardson; a son-in-law, Lethinal Davis and a brother-in-law, Harrell Hal.

Albert was a hardworking, dedicated and faithful husband. A true prayer warrior who led a life of humbleness and obedience to God. He was committed to his family but most of all he was committed to the Lord. He leaves a legacy of love and compassion that his friends, family and loved ones can carry on.
