She also leaves to cherish her memory a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended relatives, and dear friends. She was a treasured mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend whose gentle spirit and unwavering love touched all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gladys Johnson and Elie Ross, and by her brothers Preston Johnson Sr., Ronald Johnson, and Cleophus Martin Jr. Elnora will be remembered for her kind heart, her steadfast devotion to her family, and the warmth and compassion she shared so freely. Her legacy of love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
