When Thankamma was 16 years old, Pastor P.S. Johnson came to her town to conduct evangelistic series. Thankamma attended these meetings and being a good singer, took an active role in the musical programs. Pastor Johnson was quite captivated by her musical talent and leadership qualities and this led to a marriage proposal. Pastor Johnson not only won a soul, but won her heart too.
After her engagement to Pastor Johnson, she attended the Seventh-day Adventist Boarding School at Kottarakara where she completed her high school education and was baptized into the Adventist faith. Pastor Johnson and Thankamma were married on April 24, 1940. From this union, six children were born. On a pastor’s meager monthly income of Rs. 25, she not only raised her own children, but also supported other family members. Though she had only a high school education, she made sure that all her children had professional education.
Thankamma was not only a wonderful mother, but was also a very faithful servant of the Lord. Along with her husband, she served the Seventh-day Adventist church in various capacities. Her most recent affiliation was with the Kerala Adventist Church, Maryland, where she was a charter member and board member. She inspired many with her musical talents and organizational skills.
In 1983, Thankamma and her husband migrated to the United States to be with their children. After the passing of her husband in 1984, she lived with her children in California and Maryland. In December, 2011, she took ill and after two weeks of hospitalization, she was called to rest in the Lord on Sabbath morning, January 7, 2012, in Loma Linda, California. She would have been 90 years old in June. Her strong and cheerful spirit will always be remembered.
She will be greatly missed by her six children, Rosemary Srampical (Robert Sarkar), Elizabeth Charles (Rajan), Margaret Tito (A.J. Tito), George Johnson (Pushpa), Valsa Samuel (Ebenezer), Joseph Johnson (Lalitha), brother Davy Samuel, brother-in-law P.S. Cherian, sisters-in law, Mercy Dunson and Ruth Thomas, 11 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 11 nieces, 7 nephews, and a host of family and friends in US and India. We know that she is only asleep and we shall see her again on that glorious resurrection morning.
Thankamma Ruth Johnson (Samuel) was born to Salomy and Jacob Samuel on June 21, 1922, in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. Her father was an officer in the Salvation Army Church. She was seventh in a family of eight children. She always cherished the memories of her childhood. However, her father passed away when she was only five years old and the family moved from Thiruvalla to Nedumangadu where her widowed mother worked as a Salvation Army officer to raise the children.
