Heidi Giauque Johnson Obituary (1963 - 2014)

Our dear sweet Heidi, amazing wife and loving mother passed away Friday, Dec. 19, 2014 due to complications from a non-smoking lung cancer. She passed peacefully, with many family members by her side. Her battle with cancer was short, but valiant. She had only been diagnosed for 5 months. We are grateful for those few months that we had the opportunity to spend precious time with her. Heidi was born on November 10, 1963 to Don and Thurza Ann (Bobbie) Giauque, the 5th of five girls. She grew up in the Cottonwood/Holladay area and went to Cottonwood High. On the first day of high school she met the love of her life and eternal companion. Jeff and Heidi were married in the Salt Lake Temple May 23, 1984. They raised their three children, Jared, Emily and Annie in South Jordan. Her children were her pride and joy and the treasures of her life. Nothing was more important and brought more joy to her than her kids. Heidi always had a smile on her face and a compliment leaving her lips. It was important to her to make others feel welcome, loved and appreciated. She was never negative, and found joy in building others up. For the past 15 years Heidi and Jeff had the unique opportunity of working together every day. During the last 5 years they built a successful business together bringing Firehoue Subs to Utah. Their Sandy store was the first in the state, and later opened a location in Lehi. Heidi was loved and respected both by employees and customers. Heidi had a firm testimony of the Savior, loved the Gospel and served diligently in many callings at both the Ward and Stake levels. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her. Heidi is survived by her husband; Jeff, son; Jared, daughters; Emily (Blake) Heiner, Annie, father and step mother; Don and Barbara Giauque, sisters; Kim (Frank) Wells, Laurie Giauque, Jennifer (Bill) Brown, Julie (Ken) Jenson, step brothers and sister; Todd (Susan) Wheelwright, Terri (Bruce) Evans, Alan (Sherrie) Wheelwright, mother and father-in-law; Keith and Mary Johnson, brother and sister-in-laws: Julie (Tom) Moser, Joe ((Melinda) Johnson, Jina (Boyd) Johnson, Jami Eley.
