Honored by faith group for her service

Long-time Long Beach resident Judith Haywood-Johnson, president of the Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows of Inglewood and Vicinity, was honored by the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Los Angeles and Southern California. She received a plaque presented by its president, Bishop L. Daniel Williams which said, ``...for your outstanding community service in making this world a better place to live, work, and play.'' Judith is a nurse who teaches her patients at the Health Care Partners cardiac care unit how to stay healthy after illness. She and her husband, the Rev. D. Lyle Johnson, are proud grandparents of 20 or more grandchildren. Judith serves in many capacities in the church; she is especially honored to be on the Mothers' Board of the New Hope Baptist Church of Long Beach and served on its Pulpit Search Committee.
