Lynette Johnson

Our beautiful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Lynette Morrell Johnson, age 65, of Loa, passed away January 16, 2024, in Salt Lake City, Utah, surrounded by loved ones. She is a true warrior and will be greatly missed by all who know and love her.

Lynette is the daughter of George Loen and Arda Mae Sorenson Morrell, born July 5, 1958, in Salt Lake City. She is the oldest of 6 children, Lynette, Jeri, Bruce (deceased), Beth, Jody, and Kade. Born a country girl, raised a country girl, and lived as a country girl!

Lynette has always loved animals. As a young girl she rode with the 4-H riding club. Her love for horses carried throughout her life. Her true passion was horse racing. If she could have been a jockey she would have been one! She would attend every race she could with her dad and brother Bruce. Her lifetime dream was realized this past summer when she worked alongside Dale and her son Bruce with the race horses in Evanston. She loves those horses and would light up whenever she talked about them. And let’s not forget about her canine companions. Lynette was never without a 4 legged friend!

Lynette was an exceptional gardener. She definitely had a green thumb! She raised beautiful flowers, house plants, along with a productive garden. She was always sharing the harvest with family, neighbors, and friends. She loved nothing more than a good tomato and cucumber!

Lynette loved and supported her family in all they did! They were her pride and joy. She married Dale Johnson on April 4, 1975 in Loa, Utah. They were sealed with their 5 beautiful children in the Spring of 1991 in the St. George LDS Temple, Amy Bradley, Cody Johnson (deceased), Vanessa Wimmer, Jenny Lynn Johnson , Bruce Dale Johnson. Lynette later divorced. Lynette’s life was truly blessed with the arrival of her grandchildren. Ethan Dale, Lily Beth, Dominic Brody Bradley, Breea Johnson and Emma Hickman, Kayden Avila and Jacoy Lynn Peacock, Alaya Watring, and Chezleigh Johnson. Then came the great grandkids! Maximus, Janet Lynn, Ronin Peacock and Wyllow and Harlyn Avila.

Lynette is a faithful member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Lynette is one of the “Crazy Aunts” that could be found at niece and nephew sporting activities. She loved family reunions, sister crafting get-togethers, and anything else that involved being with family. She was treasured by her many nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved.

Our dear sweet Lynette has continued on in her journey. We are sure she is loving the reunion with her parents, brother Bruce; and Cody - her son.

Lynette, you will remain forever in our hearts!

A special heartfelt thanks to Jody, Vijay, and their family for taking such loving care of our “Lynnie.”
