Tyrine N. Johnson

TYRINE NANETTE (WILLIS) JOHNSON, daughter of Nanette Montue and Steven Willis, was born on September 27, 1984 in Prince George's County, Maryland. At the age of twelve, Tyrine's expanded to include an adopted mother, Jaki Young of Baltimore, Maryland. She departed this life on September 17, 2016 after a lengthy illness and remarkably valiant fight. Tyrine was educated during her early years in Prince George's County Public Schools and Howard County Public Schools and received her high school diploma from Northwestern High School, Baltimore MD, in 2002. She continued her education at Baltimore Community College and Stayer University where she studied business administration. She was employed by The Children's Place where her hard work quickly elevated her to a management position. Tyrine also held roles at energy assistance, The Arc of Baltimore, and the Environmental Control Board – all organizations that promote the health and well being of the community. She proclaimed Jesus as her savior at the early age of nine and built her relationship with Christ on a daily basis and as a member of Huber Memorial Church and most recently at St. Abraham Baptist Church. Her favorite scripture, II Chronicles 20:15, describes the faith she developed over the course of her life “...Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid or dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.” On March 31, 2009, Tyrine married Michael Johnson, the love of her life, and out of this union five children were born. Anyone who met Tyrine quickly learned how much she loved her children. She talked about them all the time, could intimately describe their personalities and preferences, and counted them as her greatest accomplishments. She loved reading, nature walks, shopping, and easily made friends wherever she went. She will be sincerely missed by everyone who knew her. She leaves to mourn: her husband, Michael Johnson; three daughters, Arielle, Chyann and India; two sons, Keico and Jarsheem; her mother, Nanette Montue (Robert); father, Steven Willis (Shirley); adopted mother, Jaki Young (Cleveland); grandmother, Earlistine Shepherd; seven sisters, Terrell Willis, Tenika Willis, Erica Bigger, Brittny Bigger, Nikki Hunker, Brandy Jefferies (Kevin), Crystal Blakey and Latoya Bethea; five brothers, Domonic Johnson, Najee Stewart, Deon Willis, Derrick Faulcon and Justin Faulcon; brothers-in-law, Tyrine Carter (Shonte) and Sean Johnson; sisters-in-law, Rosalind Johnson, Danielle Johnson, Ashley Tracy and Monique Tracy; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
