Ivie Lee Johnson, 93, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2022. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wallace (Wally) Charles Johnson, her parents William (Billy) Wilkerson and Rebecca D. Wilkerson, and her sister, Phyllis Hamlett Burns.
Lee was born on January 11, 1929, in Farmville, Va., and was a Williamsburg resident for 58 years. She was a long time member of Williamsburg Presbyterian Church.

The family thanks all of her dedicated caregivers from Home Care Assistance. If desired, please send memorial donations to Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Department, 401 Lafayette Street, Williamsburg, VA 23185.
