Eloise (Richardson) Johnson

 
Loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt
 
 Eloise (Richardson) Johnson, 75, of Lowell, died Saturday, November 19th at Northwood Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Lowell.
 Born in Sylvester, Georgia, April 12, 1941, a daughter of the late Lonnie Parker and the late Gladys (Richardson) Parker, she received her education in the Sylvester school system. She then relocated to Lowell, Massachusetts in 1956.
 Before retiring, Eloise was employed as an assembler with Raytheon Corporation in South Lowell for many years. Previously, she worked in the same capacity at Wang Laboratories in Tewksbury.

She loved cooking, dancing, gospel music and frequenting the former Rockingham Park in Salem, NH. She was also an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan. Above all else though, being all about family, she cherished the quality time she was able to spend with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Henderson of Pepperell, MA; five grandchildren Teleshi Richardson, Ontaya Lewis and her husband Timothy, Joshua Richardson, Apollonia Kitchen and Alan Henderson; two great-grandchildren Eric Parson, Jr. U.S.N. and Kayliani Henderson; two sisters Evangelist Catherine Parker-Clinton  and Mae Grace Hope and her husband Charles all of Sylvester, GA; six brothers Charles W Parker and his wife Tiana of Hayward, CA, Elder Raymond Parker and his wife Mary of Richland, GA, Deacon Tommy Lee Parker and his wife Savannah of Leesburg, GA, Reverend Lonnie Parker III and his wife Juliette of Albany, GA, Reverend Vance Parker and his wife Earnestine of Hayward, CA and Reverend Michael Parker and his wife Iris of Albany, GA; and many nieces and nephews.

    To all of Tiny's - Eloise family; I will always know here as a Tiny. How I wish I could have been there in Lowell with you; I want you to know I'm there in heart and spirit. I feel her loss as I have known her for over 50 years myself. May God along with your family bring you comfort and peace. As Tiny told me one time "its a homecoming" and now it's her homecoming and she's home. My prayers thoughts and love are with you.
