Hello everyone,
I am extremely saddened to report to you of the passing of one of our great
leaders, Johnnie Slayton. I don't
have a lot of details yet, but she passed away early this morning due to
complications from a blood clot.
My deepest condolences go out to Johnnie's family and the Tallahassee
Chapter. She was by far, one of the most incredible people I've ever had the
pleasure
of meeting. She will be greatly missed.
I've spoken with Sylvia Young, Tallahassee
Chapter secretary and her information is below should you need to contact
her directly.
I will be posting further information as it becomes available concerning
services.

This is truly shocking and tragic news. I thought so highly of Johnnie and
she was doing terrific things with the Tallahassee Chapter. This is a
perfect example of we just do not know when we will be called home. I shall
miss Johnnie big time.
My sincerest sympathies go out to Johnnie's family and friends.

>> Johnnie Slaton, a senior rehabilitation specialist with the Division of
Blind Services, began her career with the department in March 1999 in the
Office of Education Technology prior to moving to blind services in 2003.
Johnnie was a very active advocate for people who are blind and visually
impaired and served as the president of the Tallahassee Chapter of the
National Federation of the Blind of Florida. In that role as a community
leader, Mayor John Marks presented Johnnie with a proclamation recognizing
October as ?Meet the Blind Month? during the October 2013 Tallahassee City
Commission Meeting. She previously served for eight years as a teacher in
Leon County and 16 years prior to moving to Florida. Johnnie will be missed
not only by her family and colleagues but also by the Tallahassee community.
Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

This is stunning news! Johnnie Slayton was, for me, the voice which
imparted reason and encouragement during our NFBF DB Division conference
call
meetings. NFB was blessed by the life of Dr. Johnnie Slayton.
Peace be unto them who love this kindly soul.

Oh my goodness, this is so sad and such a blow to my heart that it is
difficult to grasp. I sit here and I don't want to believe it but in my
heart I know it is true. At this point I simply can't accept it. My Lord,
how could it have been time for her to be called home? It seems like she
had so much more work to do here.
Thanks,
Jim

Subject: [Nfbf-l] Passing of Johnnie Slayton
Hello everyone,
I am extremely saddened to report to you of the passing of one of our great
leaders, Johnnie Slayton. I don't have a lot of details yet, but she passed
away early this morning due to complications from a blood clot.
My deepest condolences go out to Johnnie's family and the Tallahassee
Chapter. She was by far, one of the most incredible people I've ever had the
pleasure of meeting. She will be greatly missed.
I've spoken with Sylvia Young, Tallahassee Chapter secretary and her
information is below should you need to contact her directly.
I will be posting further information as it becomes available concerning
services.

Johnnie was a driving force behind our recent demonstration at the
R.A. Gray building in Tallahassee and it would not have been the success it
was without her involvement!. Merry and I got to know Johnnie and Donald
during the planning and execution of the demonstration and found her to be
very wise, calm, energetic, and - most of all - very courageous! She was
willing to speak her mind in the face of injustice, no matter how the
powerful didn't like what she had to say! I spoke with Johnnie a few days
ago and told her how much Merry and I were looking forward to re-connecting
with her and Donald at our state convention. We are deeply saddened and
shocked by her sudden passing. She will be deeply missed but her courageous
spirit and wisdom will live on in the work we do! Requiescat in Pax, Johnnie
Slaton! We will meet again the next time around!
