Evelyn Rhudy Johnson, 92, of Bel Air, MD, passed away on February 8, 2015 at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air. A resident of Harford County for most of her life, she was born in Spring Valley, VA. She was the daughter of the late Fielden Crockett Rhudy and Erna Ruth Thomas Rhudy and wife of the late Ernest Graham Johnson. She was the joint owner and operator, for 40 years, of two prominent Bel Air businesses. They were C.D. Johnson & Son Furniture and Appliance located on Main St. and Johnson's Colony House, an Ethan Allen Gallery, located south of Bel Air on Emmorton Road. She was a long time member of the Bel Air branch of the Soroptomist Club, serving as a past President, and was a member of the Bush River Yacht Club and the Harford County Chamber of Commerce. After retiring from business in 1982, she enjoyed traveling the world with her husband and friends. She was a volunteer with the MS Bowling Group in Bel Air. She was actively involved with Liriodendron in Bel Air serving as a docent for the facility for several years; she was an avid reader who often boasted that she had held an active library card with the Harford County library for over 75 years; and was an accomplished artist who spent many years after retirement learning to capture the beauties of life and nature on canvas with her palette of oils, acrylics, and watercolors.

Mrs. Johnson is survived by her sons, Douglas W. Johnson and wife, Rebecca Borkowski, of Bel Air and Gary S. Johnson and wife, Jacqueline B., of Kingsville; daughter, Carolyn R. Adami and husband, Jack, of Folly Beach, SC; grandsons Jesse
Adami and Michael Johnson; granddaughters Olivia and Sophia Borkowski-Johnson; great-grandsons Garrett and Graham Johnson; and great-granddaughters Hailey and Chayse Adami.
