Mrs. Dorothy Ann Norman Johnson Ellis, passed away December 14, 2025 at the age of 78. Dorothy, AKA, Empress of The Known Universe, was a force to be reckoned with. She was known for being full of life, energy, and a social butterfly, always up for a fun time, good meal, good music and a hearty laugh. She was a professional educator at Central Elementary in Columbia, Kelly Elementary in Kelly, and Minnie Ruffin Elementary in Monroe. She had a fondness for knowledge that she passed on to her family and her students. She was a poor navigator but she loved adventure, gallivanting across the world taking various cruises and trips. Dorothy loved the Lord, her church, her pastor and Elvis. Mrs. Ellis is preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Dorothy Norman; husbands, Carlton Kelley and Billy C. Johnson, Sr. She is survived by her husband, Richard Ellis; son, Billy C. Johnson, II, and companion Jennifer Bridges; brother, Paul James Norman; grandchildren, Shannon L. Johnson, Billy C.
