Eunice Marie Robertson Johnson Obituary (1935

Eunice Marie (Robertson) Johnson was born on May 15th, 1935, in Red Oak, Virginia to the late Thomas "Tom" and Mary (Hugh-Davis) Robertson. As their ninth child of ten children, and youngest daughter, Eunice was fondly known by her family and friends as Mickey. Our beloved Mickey departed this life on March 9, 2025, and went home to Christ and her loved ones who preceded her. Eunice was educated in the public school system of Lunenburg County, Virginia, baptized at Gilfield RZUA Church of Victoria, Virginia, and she lovingly devoted her life to Christ at a very early age. In her early twenties, Mickey migrated to Albany, New York, where she began her lifelong career in the dry-cleaning industry. While living in Upstate New York, she attended Mount Olive Southern Missionary Baptist Church, where she loved being an usher and singing in the choir. Eunice married her late husband, Mr. Henry John Johnson, and raised her three children, Troy Julius Robertson, Wayne David Johnson, and Johnette Marie Johnson in Albany, New York before relocating to Vauxhall, New Jersey in the early 1960's. As a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, Mickey was known to always brighten everyone's day with her beautiful smile. She was always willing to give family, friends, strangers, and neighbors a helping hand. Eunice always found joy serving our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and she proudly served as a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Vauxhall, New Jersey, where she sang in the choir and continued to grow in her faith. While residing in Vauxhall, Eunice joined The Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World (IBPOEW). She was elected Daughter Ruler of Bethune Temple #572 Vauxhall, New Jersey for three years, served as the loyal Vice Daughter Ruler, organized their annual Senior Citizen Day, and was a member of the third district council and the music department. When Eunice moved to East Orange, New Jersey in the 1990's, she joined Mount Olive Baptist Church and loved attending their Sunday school. She was a faithful member until she retired and returned to Victoria, Virginia in 1999 where she rejoined Gilfield RZUA Church. While attending Gilfield RZUA Church, Eunice enjoyed attending Sunday school, working as a pastor's aide and a food service assistant. When not in church, Mickey loved singing with the family group Bro. John Robertson and the Hylights of Joy.
