On Sunday, August 9, 2020, our precious mother, Hattie M. Dunn Johnson Norvell, 93, gained her angel wings and entered the gates of heaven. She was a member of Deep Creek United Methodist Church, and always showed her love for the Lord. Her family was her greatest joy, along with cooking and helping others. Her faith sustained her many times throughout her life.

She is survived by her sons, Douglas T. Johnson, II (Christine) and Allen D. Johnson (Melinda); grandchildren, Doug, III (Michelle), Michael (Amye), Erin Klein (Christopher), Angela Hughes (Jason) and Ashley Reckline (Chris); 13 great-grandchildren; sister, Alice Proffitt; brother, Alvin Dunn; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
