Neressa ‘Necie’ Bohannon, 72, of Palatka, Florida, passed away on October 22, 2022, in Wilmington, NC.
Necie was predeceased by her parents, Henry Ray Crews and Neressa Strickland Crews; her brother, David Crews; and her son Allen Dale Johnson. She is survived by her sisters, Jennifer, Alice, and Joyce; her brothers, Lamar and Buddy; her sons, Joe and Junior; her grandchildren, Robert, Kym, Allen, Gabby, Shelby, and Brianna; and many lifelong friends.
Necie was born in Palatka, Florida on August 25, 1950, to Henry Crews and Neressa Strickland. She graduated from Palatka High School and then went on to work in the service industry for 40+ years before retiring. She was a very independent woman who was going to get the job done no matter what life threw her way.
Necie was an avid bowler and played on a bowling league. It is what she loved to do during her spare time, besides being with her family and friends. She spent most of her life in Florida before moving to Wilmington, NC. Necie knew no stranger. She loved talking to people and helping them however she could.
Necie spent the last years of her life at Liberty Commons Rehabilitation Center and also received care from Liberty HomeCare and Hospice Services. Her family will forever be grateful for the wonderful care provided to her from the staff at Liberty HomeCare and Hospice Services, especially Phyllis, with whom she developed a special bond.
Necie was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and everyone that had the privilege of knowing her.
A private service will be held for family.
