I, Marisha Ann Crouse Johansen, danced off to Paradise in great joy on October 24, 1994.

I was born by lamplight on May 30, 1939 in a little log cabin on Putt Hill, just above Pagosa Springs in Colorado, to Worthe and Cornelia Crouse.I graduated from Brigham Young University, was married on May 31, 1962 at the age of 23 to Robert Johansen, and had eight beautiful chidren: Zhon Peter, Sarah Zjani; Talitha Ann; Thomas Victor, Moroni Lee, Rudyard Michael, Anoel Zjolynne, and Alena Ruth.

A special thanks to my brother, George Crouse, who supported me until the end.

I ran a private school for over 20 years which presented the opportunity to see the great good in so many people and created throughout my life the larger opportunity for the expression of love.

My "skinny little body" will be buried in Roy, Utah on Saturday, October 29, 1994.

Funeral services will be conducted by Myers Mortuary.

My last request to you is that you will make the effort to see the good in others. I'd like you to remember to praise God, especially in your infirmities. The last words I want you to hear me saying are, "Thank you to you and thank you to Jesus."

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Hospice of Northern Utah, 2404 Washington Blvd., Ogden, Utah 84401. Donations envelopes will be available at the funeral.
