Katy Evans Johnson, age 83, died August 8, 2012, at the Bryan Long Term Care Center of Our Community Hospital in Scotland Neck, NC. She was born March 29, 1929 in Murfreesboro, NC to the late Howard L. Evans and Orpah Steed Evans.

Katy attended St. Mary’s School in Raleigh, NC. She married Jim Johnson in 1949 and to this marriage was born five children.

She is survived by her brother, John Steed Evans and wife, Ann, of Greenville, SC; her brother, Joe Evans and wife, Lynne, of Rhododendron, OR; sisters-in-law, Elaine Garrett Evans of Honolulu, HI, and Molly Weeks Johnson of Winston Salem, NC; a special lifetime friend, Ruth K.

On our visits to see my mother, Miss

Katy would brighten our day with her warm smile and a comment about how she liked a shirt or blouse that Janie or I had on. We

will miss her!

Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. God bless you all!

It was an honor to have known your Mother and to have had her at Bryan Long Term Care for so many years. I had great respect for both of your parents and will have you in my thoughts.

Ms. Katy always greeted me with a smile and a wave when I visited my aunt at Bryan Center. You could always find her sitting out by the nurse’s station. A great lady

I was so sad to hear about Katy and send my sympathy to her family and many friends, especially Ruth House. My mother, Mary Alice Edwards, loved her and her family very much. Mama always made sure there was some of “Katy’s bread” in the freezer when I came to visit. I hope her family finds some consolation and peace in knowing what a very special person she was not only to them but to everyone who knew her. It was a privilege to know Katy and I will never forget her.

What great memories of Katy when I worked at First Baptist Church. She was a lady that spoke what she thought and meant what she said, and didn’t care who knew it. My Daddy thought a lot of Katy as well, they reminded me so much of one another. She was a great lady. With deepst sympathy, Mahlon and Donna Hux
