Mrs. Susan “Sue” Louise Johnson (née Greene), 67, fell asleep in death Monday, Nov. 29, 2021, in Greenbackville. She is survived by her loving husband, Fred Johnson; brother, Robert Greene; children: Eric Emmerling Jr. (Carlina), Melinda Hair (Jarret), and Joshua Emmerling (Sasha); stepgranddaughter, Lorelei Nunke; and many cousins, nephews, and nieces.
Sue was born in Pompton Plains, N.J., and raised her three children in Sparta, N.J., with her then-husband, Eric Emmerling Sr. In 1999, she met Fred, with whom she shared a love of 22 years. They were married in 2000, and moved to Virginia in 2007. For the past seven years, Sue ran a quaint shop on Chincoteague Island – Blue Crab Treasures – that featured local artists and fun souvenirs. Sue was a loving, spiritual person, who was actively involved in the community, and her presence will be missed by all.
A memorial service will be held Sunday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m., at the Lynnhaven Baptist Church, located at 1200 Lynn Haven Drive, Pocomoke City, Md., with the Rev. Laurie Zimmerman officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the ALS foundation would be appreciated.
