Bishopville, South Carolina

Carol Nesbitt Johnson, 78, wife of Calbert W. Johnson Sr., died on Monday, June 2, 2014, at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center, Hartsville.

Born in Lee County, she was a daughter of the late Wilson McCoy Nesbitt and Lizzie Pierce Nesbitt. She was a member of Bethlehem United Methodist Church. Her first love was her church and her family. For the past seven years, she had been serving as the president of Constance Herbert Sunday School Class. She also served as volunteer treasurer of the Lee County Care Center. She was a 1953 graduate of Bishopville High School and worked as a secretary at her high school alma mater for six years after graduation. The Senior Class of 1960 dedicated their yearbook to her, the greatest honor that could be bestowed upon a school employee. She was employed by Peoples Bank as head cashier for 25 years and retired from Folsom CPA after 25 years of faithful service there.

Survivors include her husband of Bishopville; a son, Bill Johnson (Lisa) of Bishopville; a grandson, Trey Johnson; a granddaughter, Caroline Johnson; a sister, Molly N. Moore of Bishopville; a niece, Susie Chavis of Bishopville; and two nephews, Andy Caughman of Bishopville and Mike Nesbitt of Elliott.
