Delilah Johnson Green

Delilah Johnson Green was born on March 30, 1955, the beloved daughter of Pernice Brailsford Johnson and the late Thomas Johnson, Sr. in Clarendon County, South Carolina. Throughout her life, she was a source of strength, compassion, and unwavering love, and dedicated her life to her family, nurturing those around her with kindness and grace. As a mother, she was nurturing and selfless, as a friend, loyal and dependable. Delilah was a beacon of warmth and kindness to all who knew her. She peacefully transitioned from this life on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

Delilah was educated in the public schools in Clarendon County. She was united in Holy Matrimony to James W. Green and to their union two children were born, Eric and Michelle.

At an early age, she joined Taw Caw Missionary Baptist Church of Summerton, SC and later joined Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church, Pinewood, SC (Panola Community). When Delilah moved to Columbia, she joined Gill Creek Baptist Church, where she sang on the Sanctuary Choir and assisted in other auxiliaries within the church.

Within the community, Delilah was actively engaged with Voters Registration.
