Raeona Johnson Smith passed peacefully in her sleep on May 1, 2018 after 44 years dealing with Multiple Sclerosis and suffering a broken hip from a fall near the end.
Raeona was born at home on January 16, 1933 in Smoot, Wyoming to Cora M Leavitt and Orson A Johnson.
Raeona was raised on the family ranch in Smoot Wyoming. She met the most handsome man, Joe LaDee Smith and fell deeply in love with him at first sight. After graduating from High School she worked in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a year waiting for her true love to return home. After LaDee served his country in Korea, they were married on April 5, 1953 and later sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on April 8, 1954.
Raeona had a lot of heartbreak by not being able to carry children to term during pregnancy. She was able to only carry one child to term, a girl was born, Jolene. From that one daughter she was overly joyful of the five grandchildren that came into her life.
