Ann was born January 11, 1934 in Ocilla, GA daughter of the late Walter Carl Paulk and Kate Herrington Paulk. She graduated from St. Andrews High School, Class of 1952, with the greatest bunch of friends anyone could ever have and then attended Rice Business College. She was also a member of Ashley River Baptist Church.

Married on March 21, 1953, Ann was a devoted, loving wife to Jerry. She was an honest, southern lady and the most loving, fair mother that three kids could have to raise them. While they were growing up, she would make sure all of them were at three different ball fields at the same time and still never missed a game. Ann worked as a Librarian's Assistant at the "Lil Red Schoolhouse", Seven Oaks Elementary School for 25 years to make sure that she and Jerry could enable them to go from 1st grade to college. She loved traveling at home and abroad all over with family members. Ann enjoyed participating in the old St. Andrew's High School musicals. The chorus line will never be the same, but there is one more angel dancing in heaven. You will be sorely missed.

Ann leaves behind her husband of 63 years, Jerry L. Johnson of Charleston; three sons: G. Keith Johnson (Janet Baker) of Charleston, SC; David C. Johnson of Pooler, GA; Terry L. Johnson (Susan) of Mt. Pleasant, SC; and three grandchildren: Sonnie J. Klubenspies (Sean) of Loganville, GA, Tyler L. Johnson and Darby A. Johnson both of Mt. Pleasant, SC. Also remaining are her extended Herrington family of Meggett, SC, her church family and countless friends.

In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by her step-father, Alfred B. Rahtert.
