Ms. Deborah Rebecca Johnson, better known to her family and friends as "Becky", was born on March 14, 1950 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was the daughter of Ruth Pauline Stone Johnson and Melvin Johnson and sister of Gregory Johnson and Quinton Coleman, who are all now deceased.

At an early age, Becky left Winston-Salem and moved to New York with her parents. Later she relocated to Washington, DC to live with her aunt, Ora Andrews. There she furthered her education and became gainfully employed. For more than 25 years, she worked as a clerk for the United States Government with the Federal Bureau of Investigations. It was a position that she thoroughly enjoyed.

She was an active member of Apsaw United Methodist Church in Washington, DC where she served as an usher for 8 years before her health declined.

Becky enjoyed dining out, shopping, going to the movies and traveling, especially to music concerts. She enjoyed sports and attending sporting events. Her favorite teams were the Washing-ton Commanders (formerly Redskins) and the Baltimore Orioles. When she required more care, her aunt and uncle, John and Hester Stone moved her from DC to Columbus, Ohio to live with them. There she remained until the Lord called her to her eternal home on June 4, 2025.

Those who remain to cherish her memory include: an uncle, John Stone; and a host of nieces, nephews, her close companion, Theodore Sample and his mother, who was a devoted friend, Emily Sample, both of Suitland, MD; and a host of nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
