On Tuesday, January 21, 2020, our family circle was broken when God called home our beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and dear friend, Francine Karen Johnson. She was born in Richmond, Virginia on April 27, 1966 to Frank Johnson and the late Mae Francis Johnson.

Francine was educated in the Arizona Public School System, and from there, she attended Job Corps, receiving her General Education Diploma.  Additionally, she attended a Culinary School in Richmond, where she studied the art of food preparation.

Francine loved her family deeply in her own special way.  Her son Darius was the love of her life, and her daughter Tiffany was her beautiful Princess whom she loved with all her heart. We will all miss her dearly and carry her memory in our hearts.

Francine is survived her son Darius Johnson; daughter Tiffany Alexandra Graham; father Frank Johnson; grandchildren Vanessa Elizabeth Graham and "Kee Kee,"Nahkijah Batter; sister Rose Steward McNair (Byron E.); brother Calvin Leon Johnson (Rosalyn); aunts and uncles, Clarence and Ruby Robinson, Nora Robinson, Edward G. Robinson, Jackie Robinson, Gerdin Breman, Ashley Robinson, Rosalee Wooder, and Annie Carter; a devoted friend Clemente Andrews, and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.
