Daughter, friend, & mentor
Gina C. Johnson, 33, of Media, manager of the Starbucks store at 10th and Chestnut Streets, died in a one-car crash near Greensboro, N.C.
Ms. Johnson was a passenger and one of three people in the car who died in the accident on I-85, the Greensboro News & Record reported.
The rented van was traveling north in the left lane after 11 p.m. when it approached a curve to the right, police told the newspaper. The van "went straight and off the road," the newspaper reported, became airborne, flew 98 feet over a grassy median, and landed on the northbound lane of U.S. 29-70, which runs beneath the interstate. It then flipped and caught fire.
A 1993 graduate of Penncrest High School, Ms. Johnson graduated from Shippensburg University in 1997.
For about seven years before joining Starbucks, she was a banquet manager for Spirit of Philadelphia, a sightseeing ship on the Delaware River.
Through the volunteer organization Philadelphia Cares, Ms. Johnson was a mentor to underprivileged children, said her mother, Deborah Margulies.

Though it's been years since we last saw each other, my memories of you are very vivid. You were always so fun to be around and never failed to leave me doubled over with laughter.
Maybe one day, we'll meet again and share a glass of sweet tea and a few good belly laughs.
Love,
Melissa
