Reflections on the Life of Bishop A nna R ee Johnson Cam pbellLife for Anna began on February 2, 192o in Green Pond, SC and she grew up inCharleston, SC. She was born to Henry and Susie Bryant and she was one of three children(two girls and a boy). Her sister preceded her in death.She was educated in the South Carolina school system, and was employed at theAmerican Tobacco Company for approximately 20years. She later moved with her familyto Philadelphia, PA then pursued a career as a private duty nurse for a few years.Afterwards, she was employed as a nurse's assistant at the Holy Redeemer Hospital, whereshe ultimately retired.While living in Charleston, SC, Anna joined the Church of the Living God under thepastorate of the late Elder James Ravenell upon moving to Philadelphia, PA sheconnected with the House of God Church under the Pastorate of the late Bishop Pasco. As afaithful member of the Church of the Living God, she served under the fine leadership of the

late Bishop N. Randall and many others, up to her present pastor, Bishop Lessie Williams.As a long-term faithful member of the Church of the Living God, Bishop Campbellwas a Pastor of a small mission, an Elder, then promoted to the Bishop's Staff under thelate Bishop N. A. Manning. She was the head Church Mother at her church location, sheworked in the kitchen ministry, sang with the Jubilee Choir, served on the Pastor's AideCommittee, and was one of the best dressed women in the organization. Yes, she was the"headliner DIVA" Her straight-forward manner of correction would help keep the saintsin line when they would be tempted to go astray. She mothered so many and took themunder her wings of love. Even if their feelings got hurt, she would make them some lamb,

brown rice, collard greens with turnips, a cake and then everything would be all right.Mother, as she was fondly called was the epitome of love, and lived her life withdignity and pride, leaving a perfect example of what it takes to be a real classy lady.Left to cherish fond memories of her are: a devoted daugh ter: EarnestineMoorehead (Earnest); one loving b rother: Henry Bryant (Ella); Nin e Dear G randchildren:Chiqquetta Dean (Reginald), Anthony (Donna), David, Melea, Arthur, Dana (Tamara),Gloria, David (Danean), Tasha (Anthony); Tw o Daughters in-law : Tarn Levine and Audrey

Boreland; more than tw enty-five great grand children an d tw o great-great grand children;one nephew: Tommie Bryant (Diane); a special son: Johnnie Coney (Faye); a play son:Norris Allen (Toni); four w ho w ere like special daughters to her: Michelle Joyner, EmmieJean Coney, Dorothy Schoolfield, Estelle Jones; one god-daughter, Rosette Coney (Gene);one god-son, Gregory McNeal; special friends Mother Helen Watson, Mother Doris McNeal,Mother Lucille Tate and Mother Anna Lee Green (all these refe rred to as The G oldenGirls ); other relatives and c lose acquaintances; along w ith her loving church family.Mother, you mean so much to us

It hurts to see you leaveBut we accept God's will for you

So we'll praise Him while we grieveLovingly, the Family

Ithank God for the many years H e allow ed us to be together. Y ouw ere my m other, my s ister, and my best friend all at the sametime. I 'm going to miss you so m uch, mom .

"God looked around the garden and found an emptg spaceao tie looked down on earth and saw gour tired face.

H e knew that you w ould never be well on this earthagain. He saw the roads w ere getting rough and the hills w ere hard to climb, so H eclosed your weary eyelids and w hispered peace be thine. So I am n ot going to saygood-bye (it's so hard to say good-bye) because I w ill see you again.

Tribute to our BelovedGrandmother Anna Johnson-Campbell

She hugs and kisses her loved ones at Heaven's gate;Then shares with them the joy of her new found fate.She goes on an d on about the ones she left behind;It's going to take a while becauseShe was Grandmom to all mankind.Now God bestows the heavenly rewards upon her head;As always, she shares them with others instead.She now receives the deed to her new heavenly man sion;To m ake room for all of u...She's already planning the expQ nsion.

Heaven's newest garden is now in bloom;She started working on it, as soon as she left the room.No t being able to work in the soil now for some time,I am sure her smile is brighter than summer's sunshine.So now Grandmom wished for all to understand,That God is the key to the Eternal Land.If you choose Him before it's too late,Then you will meet Grandmom again at heaven's gate.A M essage from Y our Pastor:. .

Mother Campbell I find it hard tobelieve that you are actually gonefrom our presence. Your seat willnot be the same because no onecould ever fill your shoes. Your nodof approval will be missed. Yourfirm expressions of correctioncannot be replaced. Your record offaithfulness will be hard to competewith. Yes we will miss you dearlybut we would not want to rob youof the joy you are now experiencingin the presence of the Lord. Youwill forever rem in in our he rtsnd the sweet fr gr nce of your

memory will remain in our minds."Precious in the sight of the L O R D is

the death of his saints."Psalms 116:15Your P astorBishop Lessie Williams
