Gladys I. Johnson, 90, of Middleton, died Monday, Dec. 16,
1991 at a Caldwell
nursing home. Private
graveside services will be Thursday at the
Middleton
Cemetery under direction
of the Flahiff Funeral Chapel, Caldwell.
Rev. Lura
Kidner-Miesen of the First
United
Methodist
Church, Middleton will officiate.
Gladys was born May 7, 1901 at Clayton, Illinois.
She attended school in
Clayton and taught in that area for a short time.
She met and married
Robert C. Alexander at Golden, Ill., on June 21, 1920.
Family illness in 1945
forced the family to move to
Sunnyslope, AZ. In
1950, they moved to the
Black
Canyon area. Clyde passed
away, March 5, 1959 at
Caldwell.
She married H. "Leon"
Johnson on May 27, 1969 at Flippin,
Ark.
They were both active in Grange and
Gladys in the Rebecca Lodge. Leon
passed away April 24, 1990.
"Gram" was very talented.
From cooking to
crocheting, she never stopped doing for others.
The past three years,
Gladys had been quite ill, however, loving care allowed her to
remain at her home until a month before her death.
Her loving nature will
be missed by all who knew her.
Survivors include daughters Mrs. Pete "Peg" Araquistain of
Caldwell, Mrs. Roy "Lou" Auten of Phoenix, Arizona, Mrs. Fred
"Gwen" Hoelscher of Plymouth, Illinois, Mary Alexander and
Joyce Kelso both of Middleton; two sons Robert "Jack"
Alexander of Middleton and Clyde Alexander Jr. of Scottsdale,
Arizona, two stepsons Larmen Johnson of Redding, California
and Carl Johnson of Boise, numerous grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
She
was preceded in death by two brothers, two sisters, and two
sons Ralph Alexander and Charles F. Alexander.
The
family suggests that no flowers be sent and that memorials be
given to the Middleton Methodist
Church or a favorite
charity.
