Jane was born in West Palm Beach, FL on Jan 5, 1930 to James E Poston and Zula Williams Poston. She was a 1947 graduate of Bay High School. She married Edward S Johnson in Vienna, Austria on August 23, 1952. Ed and Jane adventured to Austria, Germany, The Philippines, Japan along with several assignments in the United States before Ed retired in Panama City in 1966. Jane later retired from Parker Elementary School where she served as the school secretary.
Jane was a faithful member of St. Andrews Baptist Church and cherished her friendships in the Chapel Sunday School Class. She was well known for her compassion and concern for everyone who suffered. She was known to pass along this written scripture to friends and acquaintances, "Heavenly Father, thank you for the promise of each new day. When difficulty threatens to steal my joy, help me to remember that the sunrise is coming, and with it a new supply of your mercies" Lamentations 3:21-25.
Jane blessed many people with this scripture. She would ask that you simply pass it along to others. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and a friend in times of need. She will be missed!
