Alana Johnson Obituary
Alana Johnson, 56, of Show Low, Arizona, passed away on October 12, 2025, in Show Low, Arizona.
Born on September 1, 1969, Alana lived a life full of passion, adventure and creativity. For 40 years, she shared her life with her sweetheart and best friend, Gary Dean Johnson, Jr. celebrating 38 wonderful years of marriage. Together they built a life grounded in love, laughter and lasting memories.
Alana was a woman of many talents and fearless pursuits. A spirited race car driver, she found joy in the thrill of the track and the challenge of the road. When she wasn't racing, she loved expressing herself through crafting, always creating something beautiful to share with others. Her adventurous soul also drew her to the water- paddle boarding was one of her favorite ways to embrace the serenity and excitement of nature.
Her home was full of warmth and life, shared not only with her family but also with her beloved pets- five birds and two cats who brought her daily joy and companionship.
Alana is survived by her devoted husband Gary, her cherished children Danny (Brittany) Johnson and Amanda (Nick) Totherow; her loving brothers Glenn Clark and Craig Clark; and her adored grandchildren Christopher Johnson, Sebastian Totherow, Dakota Johnson, Lynzie Totherow, Bryon Totherow, and Michael Johnson.
She is also survived by her dear mother-in-law Mary Johnson, favorite aunt Pax Six, favorite niece Alissa Loomis, nephew Shawn Six, niece Shannon Six, great nephew Sheanus McCorkmack, and Beth Loomis, also with a large circle of extended family and friends who will miss her deeply.
A Memorial Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 A.M. Friday, October 31, 2025 at Owens Livingston Mortuary - White Mountain Chapel, 320 N. 9th Street, Show Low, AZ.
