Our beloved mother, Faynita Teaster Johnson passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of December 12 from complications of Alzheimer’s disease.
Faynita was born in Crossnore, NC on August 16, 1934, to the late Clyde and Hope Burleson Teaster. She was preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, Brooks Johnson, her sisters Nancy Joan Teaster, and Carolyn Burleson Canupp.
She is survived by her loving children, Pamela (Don) Griner, Sheree (John) Kayden, Jerry (Kimberly) Johnson, and stepdaughter Helen (Debbie) Slater. Also mourning her loss are grandchildren Krista Singleton, Matt Rice, Lacey (Lawrence) Harris, Allison (Michael) McAllister, Tory (Amanda) Johnson, Brian (Angelique) Kayden, and Seth (Jamie) Johnson. She leaves behind 6 great grandchildren, Kyla, Braden, Aaliyah, Pax, Cameron, and Calvin. The family thanks Lois Thompson, Moore County Hospice, and the Fox Hollow memory care staff for their love and care for mom during the last weeks of her illness.
Faynita will forever be remembered for her love of her family, music, and people. She was an amazing, creative person, full of energy, and excited about each new day.
She will be interred in Minneapolis, NC. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date. Please pray for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
