Johnson, 71 of Columbus, Ohio transitioned peacefully to her heavenly home to be with the Lord on October 24, 2018, at Riverside Methodist Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was born on September 8, 1947, to the late Norman B. Jones, Sr. and Doretha R. Jones in Huntington, West Virginia. She graduated from South Point High School in South Point, Ohio and furthered her education at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio graduating with an Associate’s Degree in Nursing. Linda was a very caring and loving person, who loved God and her family with all of her heart. She gave her life to the Lord at a young age and was baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. Early in her Christian walk, she sat under the tutelage of the late Bishop Quander L. Wilson, founder of the Greater Emmanuel Apostolic Faith Tabernacle, and was a former member of the original Faith Singers. During her time here on earth, she served humanity in many ways, especially in the area of healthcare both in the medical and mental health fields for approximately 40 years and eventually retired as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse from the Ohio State University Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Throughout her career and life, she was always willing to give and help others.
