Addieva Griffin Johnson passed away peacefully Friday, December 14, 2018. She is reunited in Heaven with her late husband, Edgar Howard Johnson Sr., to whom she was married for 64 years.

Mrs. Johnson was born June 7, 1927, in Washington, to the late Lulu Cole Griffin and Bernard Chambers Griffin. Her unique name was the combination of the names of her grandmothers and great aunt, Addie and Eva. She was nicknamed “Sunny” as a girl.

After graduating from Washington High School and marrying, Mrs. Johnson worked for many years as a salesperson at J.C. Penney, until her retirement. She was a past member of Nazareth Baptist Church in Washington, and a member of Rodman Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, at the time of her death.

She is preceded in death by her sister, Mary Louise Griffin, brother, John Caesar Griffin and her grandson, Eric Johnson.

Surviving are her four children, Deborah L. Cuspard, Edgar Howard Johnson Jr., Linda L. (Albert) Clemons and Jeffrey Johnson. She loved and doted on her 12 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and her nieces and nephews. One of her special gifts was being able to remember all of their birthdays. She will also be missed by her many cousins and her extended Griffin relatives whom she enjoyed seeing at family reunions.

Friends will be received from 11 a.m. to noon, the time of services, Wednesday, December 19, in William G. Neal Funeral Homes Ltd., 925 Allison Ave., Washington.
