February 4, 1962 — August 11, 2022

Michele Alba Johansen, 60, of Ogden, passed away on August 11, 2022 surrounded by her children after a long battle with Stage 5 Kidney Disease. 

Michele was born in Ogden, UT to Yolanda Manfredi and Grant Spendlove on February 4, 1962. She attended schools in Washington Terrace. She married Steve Johansen on December 1, 1978 in Ogden, UT. 

She held many jobs over the years but her main job was being a mom to Josh and Kasey and then as a nona/grandma to her five grandchildren. In her youth she was involved in cheerleading, gymnastics, and softball.  As a gymnast she competed at the Nationals in San Francisco where she took fifth place.  She enjoyed all types of music but country was her favorite.  As a mom she was heavily involved and supportive with her children’s sports, activities and interests. Later in life she enjoyed bingo and playing with her grandkids. She was very kind, smart and sociable.  She was always making friends and people laugh wherever she was.  She had the biggest heart and was always checking up on her kids, parents and siblings.

Michele is survived by her children; Joshua (Sara) Johansen; Kasey (Jarek Brown) Johansen; her father Grant Spendlove; her brothers and sisters; Judy Martin; Jay (Terry) Spendlove; Diane Pennington; Michael (Laura) Spendlove; Shawn Spendlove and her five grandchildren whom she loved dearly.
