MILFORD - Elizabeth M. Johnson of Milford passed away, after a long illness, Friday, May 11, 2007, in her home. She was 91.
Mrs. Johnson was born in Felton, daughter of the late Carroll and Effa (Townsend) Parvis.
She worked as a licensed practical nurse in the Philadelphia area for many years.
She wrote articles for the Milford Chronicle, and was an artist and a published poetry. She liked vacationing and walking on the beach. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Mrs. Johnson was a member of Calvary United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Women and the national AARP.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Townsend Parvis and Josiah Parvis.
She is survived by a son and a daughter-in-law, Samuel C. and Grace Johnson of Milford; a daughter and a son-in-law, Sharon E. and Charles M. Pingue of Glenside, Pa.; two brothers, Thomas E. Parvis of Butler, Pa., and Charles B.

Services will be 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Chapel of Berry-Short Funeral Home, 119 N.W. Front St., Milford, where friends may call two hours earlier.
Burial will be in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Milford.
