Mary Sorensen Buist Johnson 1914 ~ 2005 Our wonderful, loving mother, Mary Buist Johnson, 90, passed away in the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City last Saturday, January 15, 2005.
Mom was born on September 13, 1914 in Wellsville, Utah to Alexander Burnett and Bertha Sorensen Buist.
She attended schools in Cache County and graduated from South Cache High School. She continued her education at Utah State University for one year. (They were always the "Aggies" to her.)
She married Oscar LeRoy Dunn in the Logan LDS Temple on December 5, 1934. They were later divorced.
On August 4, 1951, she married Clive Cooper Johnson. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
They had a happy marriage, where for 44 years they enjoyed traveling, attending baseball games and other sporting events and especially dancing. They particularly loved to attend anything their grandchildren and great-grandchildren participated in. She worked for Equitable Life and Casualty Insurance Company for 52 years, finally retiring at age 75. After her retirement, she really looked forward to attending the Christmas parties each year, where she was treated like royalty. Mom was very active in the DAV Auxiliary for many years. She served faithfully by her husband's side, enjoying every minute spent with him and the people they learned to know and love. She was an active member in the LDS Church all her life and served in many callings, including Counselor in the Young Woman's Mutual program and 30 years as Ward Librarian. She was a very dedicated Visiting Teacher. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clive C. Johnson; her parents, Alexander and Bertha Buist; two sisters, Leona Rice and Esther Kerr; and a brother, Charles A. Buist.
She is survived by her son, Robert L. (Peggy) Dunn; daughter, Marjean Dunn Rufener; five grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
She also leaves many step-grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services, under direction of Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 Highland Dr., will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, January 20, 2005 at the McKay Ward, 1623 South 500 East, where friends may call Wednesday 6:30 - 8 p.m. and Thursday 11:45 -12:45 p.m. Mom, we will miss you very much and are so thankful that we've been able to enjoy your sweet spirit and wonderful zest for life for so many years. You have taught us so much about living. We will especially miss your love and how happy you always were to see us. Published in the Deseret News from 1/18/2005 - 1/19/2005.
