Leanna Michele Johnstun passed away on April 25, 2024 at her home in Sandy, Utah. Leanna was born on May 8, 1954 in Nuremberg, Germany to Jack Edwards and Colleen Hixon. Leanna grew up in Utah and graduated from West High School in 1972 where she made life-long friends. She married Dee W. Johnstun on July 29, 1977 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Together they had 5 children.
Leanna’s greatest joy was being a dedicated friend, wife, mother and grandmother. She loved going to all of the kids and grandkids’ sporting events and activities – rooting for them in the crowd. She took pride in her yard and would spend many of her weekends gardening. She had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed camping, boating, and the beach. She loved to travel and explore anywhere a new adventure would take her. Leanna was a strong and fierce woman, always positive and never once complained even when things got tough.
Leanna is survived by her children Danielle (Aaron) Lewis, Kody (Jayme) Johnstun, Dave Johnstun, Jessica (Travis) Jones, Brad (Natasha) Johnstun, siblings Brian (Melodee) Edwards, Sherrie (William) Hixon-Owen, Kim (Vince) Mousseau, Diane (Jeff) Nelson, Sheryl Lewis, Cary (Barrett) Hixon and 18 grandchildren.
Leanna is preceded in death by the love of her life Dee Johnstun, her parents Jack Edwards and Colleen Hixon, her stepfather Lee Hixon, her in-laws Loren and Margaret Johnstun, her brothers-in-law Glen and Kent Johnstun and Ron Lewis, her sister-in-law Sharon Johnstun, and 3 nephews Todd and John Johnstun and Josh Spilker.

Guestbook/Condolences
I worked Leanna at SPS. I loved her smile. She always brought happiness to the office. She will be missed by many.
Leanna, I’m sad you are gone but so happy you are out of pain and reunited with Dee.
Kim, Brian, Sherrie, Danielle, Jessica, Cody, David and Brad. We loved your mom and sister so much and so glad we got to grow up together in the same neighborhood. Your mom has always been beautiful inside and out, kind and wise.
Love Rosanne
I feel horrible that I was not there... Got my dates mixed up..Dee and Leanna were the best of the best. We had great time at Bear Lake and Lake Powell together. My family will have those memories for ever.. I spoke with Leanna about a week before she passed she never complained, and I saw Dee at The Philadelphia every time I went in there for lunch...They will be missed.. At least that are finally together again and out of pain. Rest in Peace Dee and Leanna.. Love the Wetzel's till we meet again.
