Daisey Revella Cook-Johnson

Obituary Daisey Revella Cook-Johnson, was born to the late Marion Elmer and Flora Elizabeth Cook in Maryland on Saturday, September 9, 1940. At the age of eighty-two (82) she departed this life after being hospitalized briefly at Onslow Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, NC. Daisey accepted Christ at an early age at the Mardela Apostolic Church in Mardela Springs, MD. She graduated from Salisbury High School in 1959. After graduation, she moved to Washington, DC. At the age of twenty-four (24), she received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Department of the Army for her performance as a civilian editorial clerk in the Command Information Unit. Daisey worked at the Pentagon as a secretary for the late Colin Powell. She also worked at the Navy Yard and Crystal City, VA as a secretary for the Department of Defense. Daisey had a passion for cooking and baking. You never left her table without being fully satisfied with her culinary skills. After the death of her husband, Daisey returned home to Maryland to be near her family. She then became a member of Greater Higher Hope Temple Apostolic Church in Salisbury, MD, under the previous teachings of the late Pastor Emmanuel Baker and Elder Charles Shelton. When Daisey decided to move with her son in Florida, her church leader was Pastor Albert Todd of GHHT in Salisbury, MD. No matter where Daisey lived, she always found a church to keep her spiritual nature uplifted. Daisey’s love of God and family kept her close to many church families during her transitions, all serving and loving One God. Just like Naomi and Ruth, there was a special bond between Daisey and Peggy. Peggy is Daisey’s daughter-in-law with son, Tyrone. When Daisey was unable to care for herself, Peggy cared for her lovingly and unselfishly in her home in North Carolina. Peggy’s children were also very active in her life so Daisey was never alone. Family was always present in her life. She will be loved and remembered because of who she was. Daisey’s heart was open to all as if it was made from pure gold. Whenever or whoever you were in her presence, you felt loved. Daisey leaves to cherish loving memories: her son, Olian Orlando Johnson III (Violet); grandchildren, Olian John Johnson IV, Monique Aree Johnson, Trevon McGriff, DeJuan McGriff, Kayla Joyce Johnson, Dorian Rene Johnson, Adriane Leigh Johnson, Janae Cook and Tyrone Cook Jr.; her siblings, Samuel Cook, Sr. (Sandra), Sara J. Cook-Brown (Charles) and David Cook (Deborah) and a host of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Olian Johnson, Jr.; her son, Tyrone Emerson Cook, Sr., her daughter, Olinda Lynette Johnson, her brothers, Marion Cook, Jr. and Thomas Cook Sr., her sister, Norma Lee (Cook) Halliburton and her cousin, James E. Dickerson. Lovingly Submitted ~ The Family
