The Obituary

On May 15, 1944, God released an angel named Brenda Gibson Johnson to begin her earthly journey. She was born to the late Leroy and Rosa Gibson in Thomasville, North Carolina. To enhance heaven God quietly called Brenda home on Saturday, October 15, 2016.

After receiving her early education from Church Street School in Thomasville, NC Brenda enrolled in Davidson Community College where she received several certificates.

She enjoyed singing, shopping, cooking and traveling but most of her enjoyment in life came from being around family, especially her grandchildren. One would describe Brenda as outgoing, outspoken, dependable and a very strong independent women, which she displayed through her path in life. These qualities awarded her a supervisor position at Thomasville Furniture Industries – Plant C where she was employed for over 40 years.

Planted in her faith Brenda was a member of St. John A.M.E. Zion Church, where she served on the Missionary Board and sang in the choir. Family and friends will fondly remember Brenda singing songs of Zion such as: Rough Side of the Mountain, and Take Me to The King.
