Unique
Feisty
Fierce
Beautiful
Devoted
Loved Jesus her savior
Lover of everything animal- From rats to chinchillas to starlings (that she rescued and taught to speak) to her precious pets that passed- her German Shepherd Zar, and Yorkie Annakin, and, grieving her now, Molly and Ellie Mae. Lover of mountains and Harleys.
Unconditional loving wife, grandma, daughter, mother, sister, friend.
Strong and sometimes secretly weak, but forever loving her family and husband- so hard – till her very last breath.

She is also survived by her daughters Brittney Trower Huff, Megan Cascio (Vinny), and Alyssa Eslava (Jorge) sister’s Denice Johnson, April Fields, Kristi Jones(Brad) ,Rosie Adair (Russ). Brother’s David Johnson and Mike Johnson, and sister-in-law Dana Graham (Jess) Also Ray and Rusti Hallam. Rusti was a mother to her and they loved each other dearly.

Bart would like to give a special thanks to the Johnson families and her sister April Fields for the unwavering help. And to Dr. Jarrett Hammer and team, Dr. Chris Biesinger and team.

A celebration of life will be held on Monday September 19th, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the Angeles theater in Spanish Fork Utah. 165 North Main Street. Doors will open at 10.
As a family, we wish we could say her passing was peaceful and painless, but unfortunately due to alcohol induced cirrhosis it was far from that. If anyone is struggling with alcohol addiction please reach out for help. Recovery works if you work it. And you’re worth it because God says so.
