The Life of IDELLES A JOHNSON
Idelles Johnson, 63, went home to our Lord on February 21, 2010, after her battle with Alzheimer's.
She was born on June 17, 1946 to Elmer and Clara Richardson of Slater. She graduated from Ballard- Huxley High School in 1964. She worked at the downtown Younkers Beauty Salon as a beautician until raising her family became priority. Her hobbies included cooking, baking, gardening, sewing and crafts, bowling, and participating in numerous church activities. Her greatest joy was spending time with family and friends.
She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Gene Johnson. They have three children, Christina (Shawn) Hauger of Polk City, Derek (Adrianne) Johnson of Ankeny, and Kyle Johnson of Ankeny; and five grandchildren, Grant, Alex, Kaitlyn, Cole, and Lacie. She is also survived by one brother, Don Richardson of Urbandale. She was preceded in death by her parents.
