FAMILY LIFE On December 31, 1972, Cecilia married the lateArmyCaptainAlexanderSethJohnson of the Armed Forces Legal Directorate. The marriage was blessed with a daughter Louisa Afi Dela Johnson in December 1976. As an army wife in 59 Burma Villas, Burma Camp, Cecilia conducted brisk trade in local foodstuffs and textiles among other items; tapping on her earlier skills acquired while growing up in Sunyani. She made many friends in Burma Camp and her vivacious spirit got her elected as Secretary of the Armed Forces Wives Association. Cecilia’s home was home to everyone; family or friend. All her siblings at one point or another passed through her household in Burma Camp or Switchback Road or Roman Ridge. Her residence was more than a home; it was a launchpad of professions, a shelter from life’s vagaries and a safe house where solutions were birthed and acted on. Mrs. Johnson was the life of every party and she loved to dance. She was always the first on the dance floor and she made sure everyone took a turn, no matter how good or bad they were at dancing. 1946 MRS. CECILIA JOHNSON 2025 16 A Loving Farewell
