Beckwith, 80, died Sunday night at University Medical Center, where he had been taken from his prison cell. He had a Italian opera and Japanese songs accompanying herself on the piano, said Mr. Johnson. On a recent trip, he said, Ms. Yamanashi-Johnson picked olives from a friend's grove and had them pressed into oil that she used in her gourmet cooking.

Gardening brought the couple together, said her husband, who designs and installs gardens. They married in 1991. Ms. Yamanashi-Johnson kept her Japanese citizenship. She joined Pan-American Air Lines as a flight attendant in 1967 and went to work for Delta in the 1990s.

Her favorite plants were lilies, he said. She volunteered at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and conducted workshops in flower arranging. A member of the Hydrangea Society of America, she also favored wild gingers, said Mr. Saul. "She had a great exuberance.

She would throw these great garden parties, and anybody who is anybody in horticulture was there," said Mr. Saul. "She was an incredibly generous person. She was incredibly beautiful both in person and in her soul," he added. Survivors include a sister, Yuko Amemiya of Tokyo.

With her husband, Ozzie Johnson, she developed a garden that has been featured in Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens and Fine Gardening magazines and the "Victory Garden" and "A Gardener's Diary" on television. "It is a beautiful garden, one of incredible design but also like a botanical garden. It's truly a horticultural spectacle," said Mr. Saul. "Their yard is full of very rare and unusual items.

She had progressed in planting out a lot of that material." Ms. Yamanashi-Johnson, an international flight attendant for Delta Air Lines, used her garden as a backdrop for Japanese tea ceremonies and English garden parties, said her husband. Besides developing contacts in Japan and China to discover rare plants, she especially enjoyed iting Italy. She spent many Christmases with friends in Italy, where it was a tradition for her to sing classic the nicest pri- Johnson vate gardens on the East Coast," BAKER Tara Louise Baker of Hampton, died January 19, 2001.

Mr. Evers, a 37-year-old NAACP field secretary who pushed for an end to segregation, was shot in the back on June 12, 1963, after stepping out of his Oldsmobile. The slaying haunted the Evers family, Charles Evers, a veteran civil rights activist, said in a telephone interview Monday with The Associated Press.

"What do you say? Finally, it is all over," Mr. Evers said. Mr. Beckwith's philosophy left no room for blacks, Jews, Asians or any race other than white. "There are only three kinds of people that live in Mississippi," Mr.

Beckwith told The Clarion-Ledger of Jackson, in an interview shortly before his arrest in 1990. "Whites, colored and trash, and there's very little trash in Mississippi." Mr. Beckwith said that while he was "not willing to lay my life down to rid evil from this country," he was "willing to kill the evil in this country that would try to push me out." Two all-white juries deadlocked in trials in 1964. Twelve years ago, Mr. Evers' widow, Myrlie Evers Williams, asked that the case be reopened and then-Hinds County Assistant District Attorney Bobby DeLaughter agreed even though he faced daunting challenges.

"At the very beginning we didn't have anything," Mr. DeLaughter said. "The DA's file was nowhere to be found. We did not have the benefit of a trial transcript to know who the witnesses were." But he and his officers stumbled across new evidence, including negatives of photos of the crime scene and new witnesses who testified Mr. Beckwith had bragged to them about "beating the system."
