Zona Hayes Johnson , a lifelong resident of Bradley County, passed away on the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2000.
She was 94 years of age and was the last surviving child of the late Joe L. and Carolyn Ball Hayes.
She was an 89-year member of Macedonia Baptist Church and was known for her ministry of care for other people. She will be remembered by many for the numerous occasions when she cared for them during times of illness or after the passing away of a loved one. She has been described as the "ultimate untrained nurse."
She will also be remembered for her devotion to her husband of 78 years, whom she supported in the operation of his local barbershop. The strength of their relationship was accredited to their sense of humor, strength of character, and commitment to communication.
