     Lillie B. Johnson, the daughter of the late Luther Armstrong “Bud” Nance and Fannie Buie Nance, was born on August 8, 1935 in Dillon County, South Carolina. Lillie was called to eternal rest in the early morning hours of April 19, 2015 at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, South Carolina.

     Lillie was educated in the public schools of Lake View, SC and graduated from Columbus High School in 1953. She completed some higher education studies at Francis Marion College.
