Ina May married Richard Wendell Johnson on October 13, 1955 in the Salt Lake City temple. They had 6 children – Glen, Frank, Dana, Eric, Shaun, and Joe. Ina May was very good-natured, kind, and loved everyone. She served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Texas, Spanish speaking. She was an active member of the church her entire life, and never missed an opportunity to share her testimony. She enjoyed the aloe vera business with her husband for 40 years. Her family and her grandchildren were the light of her life. She never missed an event for her family – birthdays, holidays, parties, and graduations. Ina May loved buying gifts for the people she loved. She would often visit thrift stores and buy things that she thought someone would like. Her home was filled with her treasures. She was preceded in death by her husband Richard, and sons Frank, Joe, Glen, and all of her siblings. She is survived by her sons, Dana (Valerie), Eric, and Shaun (Hollie), 21 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren. She will be deeply missed. The influence she had on our lives will never be forgotten. We are grateful that she is reunited with her family on the other side.
