Lori Johnson, 49, passed away on November 7, 2008, surrounded by her loving husband, James Robert Johnson and her devoted parents, Jack D. and Eva B. Habish. Also at her bedside were her three sisters, sister-in-law, brothers-in-law and many caring nieces.
Lori was born February 5, 1959, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was raised in Bountiful and graduated from Bountiful High School. Lori also attended LDS Business College and was the youngest graduate in the Modeling Program at the age of 14.
Lori and Jim were married June 1, 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada on her Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary accompanied by her parents and sisters and brothers-in-law.
Lori loved gardening, camping and fishing with Jim and her beloved animals. She will be especially missed by her dog Poco, who was always by her side. Lori's daily phone calls to her Mom will also be sorely missed.
Lori is survived by her husband, parents, and sisters, Sandra (Greg) Hemming, Vickie (Jeff) Springer, and Polly Fackrell, sister-in-law, Genann Howard, Brother-in-law, Mark Johnson, and many caring nieces and nephews.
Our family is grateful to Dr. Benjamin Smith and nurse Jolene in the MICU at the U of U Hospital for their extraordinary care of Lori.
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
It’s lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day. Life does not seem the same since you have gone away. When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.” Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping. We'll meet again someday.”
