I had a lot of good memories with Kay
Paula Morris
Ms. Kay was, definitely, an icon at the Elm Street Recreation Center. She made sure our children were safe. She earned love and respect of those she advocated for. She watched and was concerned for the welfare of children (Troyce) even when they were not at "The Rec." She loved conversations about the Lord and his goodness. Ms. Kay...ALWAYS REMEMBERED!

Patricia Kay Alberta (Johnson), affectionately known as Kay or Ms. Kay, was born on February 16, 1938, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Naomi J. Brill and Calvin Johnson passed away at her home on Thursday, February 5, 2026.
Raised in New Berlin, a historic fishing village along the St. Johns River, she developed early values of responsibility, hard work, and perseverance. At the age of 15, she welcomed her first child, Veronica London, and later relocated to Fernandina Beach, Florida, where she graduated from Peck High School, Class of 1956. She later gave birth to Ronald Jones, Jolyn Jones, and Bridgette Davis.
Patricia shared nearly 30 years of marriage with her husband, Paul E. Alberta, Sr. She devoted more than 30 years of service to the City of Fernandina Beach, including 28 years as Director of the Elm Street Recreation Center, now the Martin Luther King Center, where she became a trusted leader and advocate for children and families.
A woman of strength, faith, and service, Ms. Kay was a devoted member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church and remained deeply involved in the lives of her family across generations.
Patricia is survived by her children Jolyn Jones and Bridgette Davis (Earl); her stepchildren Paulette Stephens (Hugo) and Paul Alberta, Jr.; her sister Susie Bates-Mattison; her godchildren Genethel Cahill (Mike) and Teresa Jones Porter; her grandchildren Tanee Stubbs, Joi Jones-McNear (Lasumott), Alicia Monique Allen (Cynthia), Brett Jones, Carlos Payton, Korri Ryals (James), Keri Gibson (Collin), Lachanda Jones, Karyn London, Kaylyn Jones, Kaomi Lloyd (Edward), and Kita White (Scooby) ; her cousin Pam Turner; and a host of loved ones to include great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and colleagues, all of whom
were touched by her life and legacy.
