Ai WAY toACHIEVE WHAT
OTHERS CANNOT

THE INSTANT AT WHICH THE UPPER EDGE OF THE SUN APPEARS ON THE HORIZON
Alesia Renee Greenaugh Johnson was born in Berkshire County, England to Mr. Charles A. Greenaugh and the late Mrs. Janie Greenaugh on October 28th' 1954. Alesia was the eldest of three children, the only girl.
A TALL PLANT WITH GOLDEN RAYED FLOWERS: FLOWER OF THE SUN
AT AN EARLY AGE, THE FAMILY MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES AND SETTLED
in Augusta, GA.IThey immediately planted roots in the|Terrace Manor Community, at age 15, Alesia would become a charter member of the Belle Terrace Presbyterian Church. Alesia was a 1972 graduate of Glenn Hills High School. She went on to attend Mercer University and graduated at Augusta State University.
THE LIGHT EMANATING FROM THE SUN
Alesia began to let her light shine as a dedicated citizen of the CSRA. She played an integral role in electing Augusta's first black mayor, Ed McIntyre in 1981. That Grass Roots campaign ignited a passion for politics
THAT WOULD SERVE VARIOUS CAMPAIGNS FOR EVITA PASCHALL, HARRY JAMES, BEN
Allen, Calvin Holland, Patsy Scott, William Fennoy, Marion Barnes, and Richard Roundtree.
A DECORATION OR ORNAMENT RESEMBLING THE SUN AND ITS RAYS
Alesia was married to John Wayne Johnson for eight years. Their union
SPARKED TWO INFINITE RAYS OF SUNLIGHT.. .JACINTA CAMILLE AND CHIMERE JOY. " IT HAS BEEN SAID, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW SOMEONE ASK THEIR FAMILY." ANYONE COULD SEE THAT ALESIA WAS THE GUIDING LIGHT OF HER FAMILY. WHEN HER ELDEST

GRANDDAUGHTER WAS BORN, ALESIA' S VIBRANT, LARGER THAN LIFE PERSONALITY WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO BE CALLED GRANDMA, GRANNY OR NANA. SUNSHINE WAS BORN.
DIRECT SUNLIGHT UNBROKEN BY CLOUD; CHEERFULNESS, HAPPINESS
Su nsh ine was a devoted educator for R ichm ond County schools for 26 YEARS. HER f e r v o r FOR E - -- a t io n t o u c h e d a n d i m p a c t e d m a n y l i v e s . A l e s ia WAS A THREE TIME RECIPIENT OF THE " TEACHER OF THE YEAR" AWARD FOR RICHMOND Co u n t y . She was also r eco g n iz ed by Ch a n n e l 6 W JBF as a " Go ld en A p p l e " RECIPIENT, AN AWARD THAT RECOGNIZES EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING.
In 2005, Al e s ia ' s lig ht b e a m e d as b r ig h t as e v e r ! She s t e p p e d out on FAITH AND ESTABLISHED SUNSHINE LEARNING AND TUTORING CENTER IN A SMALL BUILDING ON KlSSINGBOWER ROAD. SHE CHOSE " BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE ONE Child at a T im e , One Co m m u n it y at a T im e . " as the c e n t e r ' s m o tto . In seven SHORT YEARS, THE CENTER HAS FLOURISHED INTO ONE OF AUGUSTA' S PROMINENT TUTORING CENTERS. IT WAS VOTED ONE OF " AUGUSTA' S BEST TUTORING SERVICE PROVIDERS" BY AUGUSTA FAMILY MAGAZINE IN 2012. ADDITIONALLY, ALESIA WAS SELECTED AS ONfoF CHANNEL W AG T' S 26 WOMEN TO WATCH. MOST IMPORTANTLY, Sunshine T utoring and Learning Center has provided countless hours, TIRELESS SERVICE AND NUMEROUS SCHOLARSHIPS TO AUGUSTA' S YOUTH.
THE TIME IN THE EVENING WHEN THE SUN DISAPPEARS OR DA YLIGHT FADES
On No v e m b e r 22nd 2012, Su n s h in e ' s glow was b e a u t if u l . A stro ng BLAZING LIGHT BEGAN TO DESCEND ACROSS THE SKY, LEAVING A WARM GOLDEN HUE IN ITS PATH. ON A DAY WHEN PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY WERE GIVING THANKS, Su n sh in e's fa m ily gathered to give thanks for her light. Even now, her light CONTINUES TO SHINE BRIGHT THROUGH HER SELFLESS GIVING AS AN ORGAN DONOR.
