Dear Family,

My heart is with all of you as we mourn the loss of our beloved mother, grandmother, and aunt, Johnnie Mae Watkins. She was a woman of strength, warmth, and grace, and her memory will always live on in each of us. Though we feel the weight of her absence, I find comfort in the thought that she is now reunited with Uncle Rufus in heaven—together again, watching over us with love.

With deepest sympathy and love,
Andreaus Wooten(Grandson of Mary Eliza Lee)
Jean Wooten( Daughter of Mary Eliza Lee)
And the Entire Lee/Wooten Family

Learned today (6/24/25) of Johnnie Mae’s passing. I was heart broken and sad. She had called me a few months back to see how I was doing. We talked a long time. Baltimore will never be the same. I didn’t see her often but I knew she was always here. Johnnie Mae lived a long life. May she rest in peace.
