Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Claire Faye Hunter Johnson, passed away peacefully at her home April 9, 2011. She lived a joyful 86 years.
Faye was born in Castle Dale, Utah on September 10, 1924, to Lorin T. and Claire Goaslind Hunter. She grew up in a loving home and attended school in Castle Dale and Orangeville, Utah where she made many lifetime friends.
She graduated from Brigham Young University, serving as student body secretary, and participating in many speech and drama events. She also affiliated with Nautilus Social Sorority and Tau Kappa Alpha, a national theatrical fraternity.
Faye married S. Chris Johnson on September 7, 1946 in the Salt Lake Temple. They loved each other immensely and united their efforts to create a solid foundation for their family. She was a steady support to her husband throughout his professional career. She was a wonderful mother who was always there for their four daughters.
She dedicated her time and energy to where her heart was. She had a deep and abiding love for her family and gave unselfishly to serve and bless the lives of others.
She gave tirelessly in serving her community on the board of directors of the Museum of Natural History, and as President and National Convention Chair person of Assistance League. She helped establish the Assistance League Thrift Shop which blesses the lives of many people today. She was also President of the BYU Women's National Advisory Board of the School of Business.
Her greatest service was to her family. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was devoted to gospel principles. Her leadership skills and love for the primary children blessed so many throughout her years of service. She especially loved her association with the widows in her ward, hosting them for regular Home Evenings.
Her most memorable calling was with her husband, Chris, serving together as missionaries in the Central City Mission in Liberty Stake where they taught, nurtured and loved so many. They served honorably and loved the opportunity.
Faye touched and influenced the lives of many, including her own family. It was most often through the strength of her example. She was kind, generous and loving. Her life will forever inspire and encourage us.
Faye is survived by her three daughters and their husbands: Jan (Craig) Zwick, Peggy (Kip) Wade and Barbara (Scott) Smith; 14 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren who will miss her kindness and happy spirit.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, S. Chris Johnson; and her daughter, Carolyn.

The family wishes to thank Laura Sacramoni and Larissa Menezes for their devoted and tender care. We also thank CNS Hospice for their kind, respectful and professional service.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the LDS Humanitarian Fund.
