Mrs. Priscilla Chambers Johnson was born on Feb. 2, 1955, to the parentage of the late Johnny Lee Chambers Sr. and the late Mary Emma Walker Chambers. She departed into Heaven’s gate on Aug. 24 at her home in Valley.

Mrs. Johnson confessed Christ at an early age and joined Bethlehem

Baptist Church. She later united with her husband at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Priscilla worked, faithfully, as a member of the missionary society, deacon wives (treasurer), nurses guild, matron’s department and worked with many other auxiliaries throughout the church.
