Mrs. Kelly Michelle Felton Johnson, 58, of Mocksville, went to live with our Lord on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.
She had the biggest heart that touched many others. The world is a little bit lesser without her, but she is home with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. After battling years of lung disease and thyroid issues, she passed away peacefully in her sleep at the family home. She was born Sept. 22, 1966 in Gaston County to the late Dennis Lovaine and Janice Marie Palmer Felton.
Kelly loved her family more than anything. She loved to dance and spent many years pursuing that interest. She graduated from Hickory High School and continued her studies at East Carolina University. While she was there, she continued to carry on her love of dance. In 1997, she married the love of her life, Mark Johnson, and together had two lovely children, Chase and Easton, and this completed their family of five which included her first born son, Josh Eder. Kelly was a valuable and well-respected paralegal at Martin, Van Hoy, and Raisbeck, LLP for 19 years. Kelly loved being outdoors and enjoyed camping with her family. She loved watching Josh, Chase, and Easton play baseball, basketball, and travel softball. Kelly loved being there to watch every game she could. She was an avid Atlanta Braves fan and went to Atlanta to see several games which she loved. She was a very loving mother and a wonderful wife. She was very supportive of her husband’s travels abroad in the aviation industry. Kelly will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Survivors left to cherish her memory include: her loving husband, Mark Alan Johnson; her 3 beloved children, Joshua Keith Eder, Chase Alan Johnson, and Easton Marie Johnson; brother, Dale Felton (Selena Fulbright); sister, Karen Felton Jones (Roger); 5 nephews, Adam Jones (Stacey), Sean Felton (Reagan), Evan Felton (Makenzie), Brad Jones, Mason Felton (Claire); 4 great nieces, Ellis Jones, Evelyn Jones, Vivian Felton, River Felton; and 2 great nephews, Jackson Jones and Walker Jones.
