Joanne Ellen Vaughn

Joanie Vaughn, of Concord, North Carolina, formerly of Oxford, passed away Sunday, June 16, 2019, at the age of 67.

Of the Christian faith, Joanie was a former member of Victory Tabernacle, in Conyers, where she was the president of the Ladies Missionary Group. She was a person whose daily life demonstrated her Christian values – Joanie treated others with compassion and kindness and put their needs above her own.

Joanie’s family, whom she adored and loved without end, will remember her for being an attentive and loving wife, mother, grandmother and daughter. She was preceded in death by her brother, Terry R. Johnson.

Oliver; grandchildren, Andrew Oliver, Katherine Oliver, Emily Starr, Abby Oliver; parents, Luther and Johnnie Ruth Johnson; sisters, Donna Bray, Brenda Scarbrough, Julie Thomason; brothers, Lanier Johnson, Tony Johnson, Wade Johnson, Andy Johnson; as well as several nieces and nephews.
