Siler City

Faydeene Richardson Johnson, 93, of Siler City, went to her heavenly home on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at Genesis- Siler City Center. Faydeene was born November 30, 1931 in Chatham County to the late Barthy Loe Richardson and Mary Woody Richardson.

She is preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Burton Johnson; her brothers, Willard Richardson, and Homard Richardson; and her sisters, Lucille R. Thomas, Mable R. Cheek, Lucy R. Thomas, and Bertha R. Odom.

Faydeene was a member of Loves Creek Baptist Church where she served in many capacities, including as Women’s Sunday School teacher and as the first woman to serve as a deacon. She also enjoyed serving others in the community through her membership in Hospice of Chatham County and through helping to establish the Loves Creek Hispanic Baptist Mission.

Faydeene was a graduate of Troutman’s Beauty College and worked at Park Beauty Salon of Siler City until the birth of her daughter, Melynna. In addition to her role as wife and homemaker, Faydeene loved gardening, landscaping and reading. She applied much of what she learned as a long time member of the Dig ‘n’ Dream Garden Club to beautifying the yard with lovely flowers and shrubs.

Faydeene is survived by her daughter, Melynna J. Dowd and husband, Jeff Dowd of Lexington NC; nieces, Marcle Naylor of Mocksville, NC and Margaret Danels of Easton, MD; nephew, Harold Cheek of Burlington, NC.
