Tarsha Michelle Daniels Johnson In the early morning hours of Sunday, November 1, 2020, God sent his guiding angel to escort Tarsha Michelle Daniels Johnson to her heavenly home. Tarsha was born on January 1, 1970 in Pitt County, NC to Jesse and Margaret Diane Daniels. She was the first baby born in Pitt Memorial Hospital in 1970. She joined Hayes Chapel Missionary Baptist Church at an early age. Tarsha later served in the ministry of The Anointed Ones Church in Ayden NC. She was a 1988 graduate of North Pitt High School and went on to attend UNC-Chapel Hill. She was employed as a Hospitality Manager for Sodexo at North Carolina Central University in Durham NC and prior to that she was the Food and Beverage Director for Thompson Hospitality at Virginia State University. Tarsha was united in marriage to Eric Johnson for 24 wonderful years. She became a mother figure to many, some who lived in their home and others to whom she offered love and guidance. Tarsha was a beautiful woman with a genuine compassion for people and was loved and adored by many. During her lifetime she was affectionately called Tot, Peanut and Baby Girl.
