Mr. John Mapp Johnson, age 77 of Woolwine, passed away Saturday, August 16, 2025, at his home. He was born in Nassawadox, Virginia on June 10, 1948, to the late Thomas Francis Johnson, Sr. and Louise Mapp Johnson. In addition to his parents, Mr. Johnson was preceded in death by a brother, Thomas Johnson, Jr. John spent 46 years working at the Woolwine textile plant. John’s health issues started 25 years ago with a heart attack which he recovered from. Later followed by two cancers (one a stage 4), a serious car accident, and three strokes. By God’s grace, he always fought his way back until this last time when God decided He wanted him back. John’s passion was golf, having won Club Championships on both the eastern shore and at Floyd. But even more than golf, John loved his family and was so proud of his sons and grandsons. A lifelong Presbyterian, he served as an elder and a deacon, as well as other duties.
