Charlene Marie Kerkey Johnson's Obituary
Charlene Marie Kerkey Johnson
1953 – 2018
Charlene Marie Kerkey Johnson, 65 passed away August 11, 2018 in Orem, Utah. She was born July 3, 1953 in Granada Hills, CA to Norma Jean Robinson.
She loved nature, thunder storms and lightning was peaceful to her. She found happiness in anything she did. If things were not done right, she would make sure they were. Her favorite candies were hot tamales and black licorice. When her kids and grandkids were not doing good she stepped in and always made sure they were taken care of. She was everyone’s mom giving a shoulder to cry on. She was a phone call away. She loved fireworks. She loved animals even though she was allergic to them. She was kind to everyone.
She was a CNA always wanting to help others. She loved dancing. She loved her children and grandchildren. She always wanted to sit on the moon. She would always talk about her mom and the two of them talking. She loved to collect angel dolls. Her favorite color was blue. She was everything a mother was expected to be. She loved her family unconditionally.
She is survived by her children Jennifer Gonzalez, Jamie Garcia-Rodriguez, Jeremy Rider, Natasha Pulley, grandchildren Jasmine Fleming, Avery Goad, Shaylynn Goad, Racheal Good, Trinity Tovar, J.C. Rider and great grandchild Mateo Siqueiros.
Private memorial services will be held by the family 6:00 pm, Friday, August 17, 2018 in American Fork, Utah.
