Lois W. Seals Johnson Obituary (1924 - 2016)

Lois Seals Johnson passed away peacefully July 14, 2016. Lois was loved by all that knew her and she truly exemplified the Savior: No one was a stranger to mom. She cared for everyone and loved life and the opportunity to serve others. Mom was born to Ruben and Jenny Winterrose September 10, 1924 and grew up in Cedar City, Utah. Mom married Guy Edward Seals March 31, 1943. They had 5 children: Dennis Guy Seals (Alene), Jerry Ray Seals, Ruben Kent Seals (Susan), Dad died February 8, 1968. Mom later married her high school sweetheart Col. Ervine Vance Johnson who died March 31st 2015. Mom was a goer! She loved to have the house full of loved ones and any guests that decided to show up. She became a Pajama maker for all that was on her Christmas list. Sometimes that meant making a hundred pairs or more. Mom was a great cook and prepared many meals enjoyed by her family. She was always busy making her peanut butter fudge or hot sauce for an ice cream delight... She created a heritage of love, laugh and work your way through life. Her testimony of the Savior served as the foundation for her life. She served an LDS mission to Jacksonville Florida as well as a host of positions in the LDS church. At the time of her passing she was serving the primary children of the American Fork Ninth Ward. She loved the little children and they loved her. Our family wish to say a big "Thank You" to all who made moms last few months enjoyable and fun. A special thanks goes to the great people of Hospice of Utah who she grew to love and depend on. We were blessed to have her in our home. Her daughter-in-law Deby was able to provide for mom the greatest love with deep dedication for mom's care and happiness. To say thanks seems totally inadequate. This last month as Deb needed more help, mom's granddaughter Geraldine was able to step in as well. For which we are eternally grateful. She is survived by two of her children; Alice Diane Stubbs and Scott Richard Seals (Debra), 23 grandchild , many great and great great grandchildren as well has two of her siblings; Jackie Fullmer and Gayle Winterrose. Mom was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Richard (Dick) Winterrose, husband Guy and three of her sons, Dennis, Jerry, Kent and a granddaughter Heidi Lynn Seals.
