Park City, Utah — Kathleen W Johnson passed away on Dec 18th, 2015 after living a full and wonderful life that touched many souls in a number of places throughout the world.
Born in 1951 in New Jersey, Kathleen’s family moved from Brooklyn to Ogden, Utah in early childhood. After ski-bumming in Taos, Kathleen studied nursing at the University of Utah and went on to receive her Masters in Epidemiology from the University of Houston. She married Sam Johnson in 1985 and the two lived and worked in Denver, Dallas, and Houston. In Anchorage, they began raising their two children, and continued moving, going to Cuernavaca, Mexico, Aberdeen, Scotland, and Stavanger, Norway eventually settling in Park City.
Kathleen had such a loving style that it is almost impossible to explain in words. She raised two wonderful children, and supported her husband and friends with incredible caring and understanding. We have all grown because of her impact, and Kathleen’s battle with cancer showed us a level of courage, strength and determination that left us all humbled and inspired. Anyone who has known Kathleen will know what we mean in their own way.
She is survived by her husband Sam in Park City, her daughter Morgan in New York City, and son Philip in Salt Lake City.
An End of Life Celebration will be held at the Swaner Ecocenter on 27th December from 2pm to 5pm. In honor of Kathleen, please consider donating to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
