This is stunning news. Johnnie Slayton was, for me, a voice of reason and
encouragement during the NFBF DB Division conference call meetings. NFB
was blessed by Dr. Johnnie Slayton. Peace be unto her family and friends.

Johnnie Slayton was a true advocate of "Changing What It Means To Be
Blind"
In recent months, Johnnie
had expressed a strong interest and support of the Deaf-Blind
Divisions...both nationally and in the State
of Florida. We have lost a great leader. May Johnnie's family,
friends
and those she served find comfort in
the life she lived and the wisdom she shared with each of us.
Johnnie, rest in peace and know how much you will be missed

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.
