Obituary for ALFRED C. JOHNSON
Alfred Columbus Johnson was born March 13, 1920 in Lothian Maryland to the late Aaron and Louise Johnson. He was one of thirteen children. Alfred was better known as “Cruss” to most of his friends and family members. He received his education in the Anne Arundel County public schools system up to the sixth grade. He was required to work and support the family not allowing him to continue his formal education. He focused his life on being self-taught and learned how to accomplish many tasks; one which included running a successfully construction company. In 1957, Alfred was united in holy matrimony to Mary Elizabeth Jones, together they dedicated their lives to raising five children. He was a member of Sollers United Methodist Church from a young child. His carpentry skills were used to maintain upkeep on the original church building. Cruss enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, attending auctions, gardening and sharing the harvest with anyone who would receive it. He was known to have more bird and rabbit dogs than most. Raising farm animals was another one of his passions. His latest favorite passion was enjoying his grand & great grandchildren. He had many sayings, but the following were his favorite: “An idol mind is the devil’s workshop” and “Don’t tell me, show me”. He moved to Calvert County in 1967 on April fool’s day where he ran his construction company and farmed. Alfred leaves to mourn his loving wife Elizabeth of 56 years, four children, Don(Virginia) Hall of Sunderland, MD, Alfred (Sheila) Johnson of Ammon, Idaho, Marvis (Dale) Stepney of Sunderland, MD and Steve (Lisa) Johnson of Sunderland, MD, 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, brother Joseph Johnson of Lothian MD and a host of devoted and loving nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and wonderful friends. Alfred was preceded in death by his parents, daughter Patricia Ann and 11 siblings.
