RIP: A longtime Longwood Fire Co. supporter

Longtime Longwood Fire Co. supporter Elsie Johnson died on April 28 at age 84, and a friend who attended her funeral in Wilmington on May 5 said the hearse was escorted by three fire trucks, along with many Kennett-area firefighters.
As her obituary said, "Elsie, along with her late husband, Joe, were instrumental at the Longwood Fire Company." Joe served as chief for decades and Elsie provided tireless support "to so many members, their families, events and most of all to the community which they served." The members of Station 25 posted a sign outside the firehouse expressing how much they will miss her.
