Sandra Johnson
Sandra Johnson was born April 9, 1946 in St. Louis Missouri. She was educated in the St. Louis Public School system and a proud graduate of Vashon High School.
Sandra was joined in holy matrimony to Lloyd Johnson Sr. in 1965. To this union two children were born, Lloyd Johnson Jr. and Kamella (Shawn) Johnson.
Sandra accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and was baptized at Murchison Tabernacle CME Church where she actively served the lord for many years. She later joined Bethel Providence Christian Church.
In 1997 Sandra was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was an 18 year survivor who turned this diagnosis into a crusade for breast cancer awareness. Sandra felt that battling the disease and surviving changed her perspective. “I’m more giving and caring. I want to help as many people as I can.” Sandra started as a breast cancer volunteer at Missouri Baptist Hospital. She then became a Reach to Recovery volunteer as well as start her own cancer support group which she later called Survivors helping Survivors. She passed away peacefully on March 16, 2015 after her long and courageous battle.
Sandra was a very special spirit who was very loving and giving. She took on the role of mother, grandmother, and godmother for many special people.
Sandra leaves to cherish, love, and treasure her memory her husband Lloyd Johnson Sr.; children, Lloyd Johnson Jr., Kamella (Shawn) Johnson; grandchildren, Brienne Johnson, Lloyd Johnson III, Kellen Johnson, Kamille Johnson; great grandchildren, Trevionne, Amar, Zion’e, and Ashlynn; mother, Alma (Douglas) McJames; sister, Janice Demar; and many nephews and nieces, cousins, other relatives and dear friends.
The only words I have are Sandra was a WONDERFUL and CARING woman…

Words can not express my sorrow. I know that heaven got an angel. She will is guiding everyone through her spirit.
I thank God for having known Sandra’s love. It was such a blessing to witness her thrive as she survived and then to see her passion to help others. She shared her story giving God the glory!
It is my prayer that her family will cry a tear of joy even in the pain of adjusting to God’s perfect and gracious will.
Sandra was a wonderful, joyous spirit. May the family and all who knew her cherish her memories. Let her good works be a lesson of courage and inspiration.
I am thankful for the sweet spirit that Sandra brought to this world. I am so glad that our worlds connected. I join others in loving and missing her.
Sandra learned to be thankful in every situation. Her test was an awesome testimony of faith and perseverance. She found joy and gained strength encouraging other women. I am thankful for the years we served the Lord together at Murchison Tabernacle. Sandra was a blessing to all who knew her. My prayers are with you.
I will miss Sandra’s beautiful spirit. There are absolutely no words to describe the value she brought as a friend. Sandra’s loving and caring footprints are for ever in my memories.
I pray that you acknowledge God’s blessings and accept His guidance through this trying time in your life.
The Heavens have acquired a beautiful Angel! Sandra always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. She was the epitome of HOPE to breast cancer survivors. The staff at the American Cancer Society want to express our deepest sympathy to Lloyd, her children and grand children. God Bless You All during this most difficult time.
Kamella, we are praying with and for you! We loved mom dearly! We are here for you and Dad!
Love You!
