Bonnie W. Johnson

Bonnie W. Johnson SOUTH OGDEN – On Sunday, May 11, 2008 as time expired for the Lakers in Game 4 against the Utah Jazz, the game clocks final tick also came for one of the Jazz greatest fans. Bonnie Williams Johnson passed away after a 42 year battle with diabetes. Bonnie was born August 15, 1937 in Malad, Idaho, to John J. and Leona J. Williams. She was a graduate of Malad Schools and had attended Weber State College. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On August 29, 1955, she married Hugh F. Johnson in Elko, Nevada. After her marriage she resided in Inglewood, California for four years and in South Ogden for the past 48 years. While in California she was employed by Security First Bank. She worked for Mountain West Savings & Loan as branch manager of the Newgate office and the Layton Branch, a job she loved, until 1984 when she retired after losing her eyesight. Until her health forced a change of lifestyle, Bonnie loved the outdoors and enjoyed skiing, both water and snow, and working in her yard. Bonnie’s love of people and her outgoing personality drew people to her and she was always willing to help a friend in need. Her greatest joy was her family. When her health began to fail, it was the simple things in life that brought her the most joy. Simple things like holding hands with her sweetheart of 53 years who was her second set of eyes and always there for her, having a conversation with her children or siblings, or listening to a Jazz game which gave her such pleasure especially this season. Even though life dealt her some setbacks, she never complained and her standard answer was always “pretty good” when asked how she was doing. The family wishes to give special thanks to Intermountain Healthcare Hospice, Dr. John Wood, Tammy Goodwin, Crystal Smith and the rest of the team whose care, concern and assistance was immeasurable. Bonnie is survived by her devoted husband, Hugh, daughter, Jill, both of South Ogden; and son Hugh (Kim) of Enfield, Connecticut; three sisters, Mary Delene Edwards, Salt Lake City; Ila Mae (Wynn) John, Portage, Utah; and Rosalee (Tyndale) Evans, Downey, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, two sisters, three brothers-in-law, one sister-in-law, and a nephew and two nieces.
