Annie Johnson Lynton's Obituary
"May the work I've done speak for me"
Annie Johnson Lynton, 96 of Bedford, was called from labor to reward on Monday, January 4, 2021 at Centra Lynchburg General Hospital. She was born on March 7, 1924 to the late James D. and Otelia F. Johnson; the second of eleven children. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her husband, Larey Lynton and eight siblings, James, Daniel, Clarence, Willie Sr., Earl Benett, Eva Mae, Emma and Mildred.
At an early age, Annie accepted Christ at Court Street United Methodist Church. When she moved to New York she became a member of Willis Avenue Methodist Church; where she served as a Treasurer and Secretary. Later, Annie relocated back to her hometown and returned to Court Street United Methodist Church; where she held several positions. After the closure of Court Street United Methodist Church, she began her study with the Kingdom Hall and was baptized as a witness. Annie thoroughly enjoyed attending and participating in the meetings at the Kingdom Hall.
Annie was educated in the Bedford County School System. After graduating from high school, she then attended Nursing School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Upon completion of College, Annie became a Registered Nurse (and she would gladly tell you.) She started her nursing career at Sydenham Hospital in New York City/ Harlem; where she served for 30 years as a RN and a supervisor.
Annie was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt and cousin to her family. She will be remembered for the knowledge and kind words she shared with others. She will be sorely missed by her family, church family, neighbors and friends.
Annie is survived by one son, Stephen A. Lynton; stepson, Anthony Lynton, Sr. (Belinda); two sisters, Edna J. Wills (Harry) and Ella D. Gibbons; two goddaughters, Sandra Mitchell and Johanna DosSantos; a special nephew, Thomas "Tommy" Johnson (Jennifer); nephews, Jacob, Cleveland, Charles, Clarence, William and Troy; nieces, Alida, Marie, Wanda, Cynthia, Sandra and Patricia; special friend and "traveling buddy", John Thompson; a host of other loving relatives and friends.
The Heart Of A Nurse
Nurses are compassionate and caring,
With love in their hearts for all.
Forever extending a heart of mercy,
Always there when there is call.
Endless hours they stand on their feet,
Wondering, "Did I do my best
To help this patient get through this illness,
Ease their pain so they can rest?"
In their hearts you hear God's whisper
Through a nurse he sends his love.
Ever sensitive, kind and caring,
Souls as pure as a snow white dove.
Angel, yes, she tends to be,
For her presence comforts me.
Concern for the sick shows on her face,
Her gentle touch, my fears erase.
