Johnnie Lee Elmore

Johnnie Lee Elmore went to be with her Lord the morning of April 28, 2018, surrounded by her devoted husband, son, sisters, and friends in her home in Bradenton, Florida.

A devoted servant of Christ and a lifelong member of the Assemblies of God, she served her church as a Bible scholar, Sunday school teacher, and sang in the choir.
