Lavon (Lewis) Johnson Obituary (1928 - 2020)

LaVon Lewis Johnson, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully at her home, Monday, February 10, 2020. She was born June 27, 1928 in Morgan, Utah to Ernest Page and Lourena Lewis. She married Rees H Johnson, on April 13, 1946 in Morgan, Utah. Their marriage was later sealed in the Logan LDS Temple for all time and eternity. They enjoyed 66 wonderful years together. She was an active member in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She retired from Hill AFB in 1975. For many years, LaVon and Rees spent their winters in Yuma, Arizona. They also enjoyed traveling the coastline of California and spending their summers camping at The Eagles campground up the Ogden Canyon. LaVon loved to spend time with her grandchildren, telling them stories of her life experiences. She was so proud of them. They know they wouldn't be the young men they are today had it not been for their time shared with their loving Grandparents. She always saw the positive in everything and made people laugh with her great sense of humor. LaVon will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Lavon is preceded in death by her husband, Rees; her parents; two brothers, Burton Lewis, Wilford Lewis; one sister, Karen Robertson; and her cat Kali.
