The resolution expresses deep sorrow over the passing of Mary Alice "Mae" Herbert Johnson on March 8, 2024, at the age of 85. It acknowledges the significant loss felt by her family, friends, and community, who held her in high regard. Mae Johnson was born on February 13, 1941, in Andalusia, Alabama, to Deaconess Jezebell and Trial Elder R.D. Herbert. She was a member of the Chapel Baptist Church before joining the House of God Church in 1950. Mae and her family worked as migrant workers and later moved to Pompano Beach, Florida, in 1954. She was known for her talents in sewing, writing poetry, taking photographs, and especially for her sweet potato pie, a recipe cherished since her time in Alabama.

The resolution continues to honor Mrs. Johnson's memory, which will be cherished by her three children, Janice Randolph, Tyrone Johnson, and Theotis Johnson, Jr., her siblings, and a host of other relatives and friends. Despite her absence being deeply felt, the resolution emphasizes that her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. The Alabama House of Representatives offers this resolution to Mrs. Johnson's family as a tribute to her life and extends heartfelt sympathy to them, sharing in their grief.
