Tributes To Harriet Johnson

It is with profound sadness, the City of Martinsburg announces the death of Mayor Harriet Johnson. Mayor Johnson was extremely proud of being elected as the first female mayor in the City’s 243-year history. After she was elected in July 2020, Mayor Johnson simply said, with a big smile, “It’s time for a woman” and “big things are going to happen here.” In her short tenure, Mayor Johnson made an impact with one of the largest re-paving projects in the City’s recent history, the construction of the Train Station Corridor project that she proudly promoted, increased presence on City social media sites and launch of communication tools to better inform the public, the approval from CSX to begin the N. Queen Street Underpass project, the completion of the Shenandoah Hotel renovation project and the implementation on mobile payment for parking to assist Downtown Martinsburg. One of the projects she was most enthusiastic about was the upcoming renovation of City Hall to prepare the City of Martinsburg for the next generation. City Council approved a full design and architectural contract for the project at the last Council meeting she presided over. Mayor Johnson was a retiree from Verizon after 37 years of service. But, it’s her contributions to the City of Martinsburg that has made our community stronger and where her legacy will be long-lasting. She served on Martinsburg City Council as an at-large council member for four (4) years, was an active member of the Main Street Martinsburg board for 15 years, was the chair of the Martinsburg Housing Authority, and a volunteer and supporter of many other non-profit causes. The City of Martinsburg has lost one of its most prolific supporters and ambassadors. Mayor Johnson could always be found at a local business, community event and on Facebook promoting Martinsburg. Simply, Mayor Johnson loved Martinsburg and its people. She will be greatly missed.
Summer and I are shocked and deeply saddened by the news that our friend, Mayor Harriet Johnson, has passed away. Harriet’s passion and love for the City of Martinsburg was abundant and contagious. Her presence at every city event will be greatly missed.
It was always a joy to work alongside Harriet to better our city and to help our shared constituents. She never hesitated to jump in and do whatever she could to assist with a project. Harriet leaves behind a lasting and impactful legacy, as the first female mayor of Martinsburg. The trail she blazed will, without a doubt, inspire future women to follow in her footsteps. We send our thoughts and prayers to Tom and her entire family.
This is never an easy thing to do, but it is with tears in my eyes that I will tell you our Mayor Harriet Johnson has passed away. Harriet was the most dedicated public servant I knew and I’m so thankful for the short amount of time I had to work under her. She always told me “one day you’ll be the mayor” and I promise one day I will fulfill her wishes. I am asking everyone to please say a prayer for the Johnson family and the City of Martinsburg.
My heart breaks again. Harriet Johnson was one of moms close friends and today they were reunited in Heaven. She was always so supportive of me even after mom passed. Harriet Johnson, you were a one of a kind and will be missed by so many!
