Miriam Selina Johnson Sept. 4, 1944 --- Dec. 12, 2020 On Saturday, December 12th , 2020 at 10:30 AM, Miriam Selina Johnson went peacefully into eternal rest with her family by her side at her home in Fairfield, CA. She was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Aleshia D. Battle. Miriam was born September 4th, 1944 to the late Rosemary Taylor and Lawrence Williams. Miriam was raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. On February 16th, 1963 Miriam and Jake were married. Out of this union they raised five children: Stephanie, Kevin, Jake III (Allison), Eric, & Erica. As a proud Air Force Wife, Miriam traveled the world and was able to expose her beloved five children to a wide range of cultures and experiences not often afforded to people of color during that time. She dedicated 28 years working for AAFES until she retired in 2005. Miriam was a faithful member to her church (Chapel 1 on TAFB) and cherished all of the people she met while serving as an Usher. Throughout the years, Miriam developed strong bonds with other military wives who became her life-long sisters. Miriam, who went by many names in life, from Mrs. J, Auntie, Mom, Mama, Nana, and The Little Woman will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her husband(Jake), her 5 children, 15 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. She was blessed to be loved by a host of brothers, sisters, and her partner-in-crime, Uncle Calvin. Although her physical presence is no longer here on earth, the seeds of unconditional love, support, and the importance of family will continue to blossom for generations to come. Due to Covid-19, a modified memorial Drive-Thru Visitation for Miriam will be held at 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2020, at Bryan-Braker Funeral Home located 1850 West Texas St. Fairfield.
