Fern L Johnstone Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Fern Larsen Johnstone was 82 years old when she passed away on November 26, 2020 in Millcreek, Utah after a valiant fight with Covid-19. She was born and raised on her parents’ farm in Bluffdale, Utah, graduating from Jordan High School in 1956. She was the youngest of 6 children whom were born to Martin and Virginia Larsen. Fern was a dedicated mother first and foremost, who enjoyed camping, travel, and playing dominoes, yet these paled in comparison to spending time with family and her lifelong friends. She had a vivacious personality, made friends everywhere she went, and always caused people around her to laugh. She was a lifelong member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and served as a primary teacher in the LDS church. Fern was preceded in death by her husband Byron Johnstone; her parents; her 3 sisters Rosa, Donna and Lola; and her 2 brothers Elmer and Byard. She is survived by her 3 sons Richard (Tracy) Steedman, Brent (Kim) Steedman and Brad Steedman; step-children Debbie (Barry) Larsen, Ray (Debbie) Johnstone, Lori (Lamont) Bird and Carl Johnstone. Fern was also a grandmother to 18 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. Fern will be laid to rest on Thursday, December 3, 2020 at Bluffdale Cemetery, located at 14229 South Redwood Road. Family and friends may visit and pay their respects beginning at 2:30 pm.
