Monroe County Family Connection joins our community in expressing heartfelt sorrow over the passing of our Collaborative Partner, Dr. Angela Johnson, Founder and CEO of Reconciliation House Inc.

Dr. Johnson’s life and work were a powerful example of faith in action. Through Reconciliation House Inc., she created more than a program—she helped build a place of healing, hope, restoration, and transformation for women who truly desired change. Her vision empowered women to find freedom, rebuild their lives, grow into leaders, and return to serve others with the same compassion they received.

We are grateful for Dr. Johnson’s partnership, leadership, and unwavering commitment to helping women and families experience restoration and new beginnings. Her impact will continue to live on through every life touched by her work.

Dr. Johnson, we know Jesus welcomed you into heaven saying, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant." Thank you for the seeds you planted, the lives you changed, and the legacy of love and purpose you leave behind.

Our prayers and deepest condolences are with her family, the Reconciliation House Inc. community, and all who knew and loved her.

Reminder:
We will be celebrating the life of our Founder and CEO, Dr. Angela Johnson, on Saturday. Please come out if you can 💕
