Landra Adams (Johansen) Obituary (1954 - 2019)

Landra Johansen Adams, lately of Payson, Utah, was born on January 19, 1954 to Niels LaVon and Carrie Mae Johansen. She died on December 29, 2019 from complications of an infection. From the age of seven on she was raised by her father and his wife Louise Roberts in Orem, Utah. Landra was preceded in death by her father, LaVon, brothers Wendell Charles, and Robert Neil Johansen, and her husband John H. (Jack) Adams. She is survived by her son Tyler William Satchwell and his wife Clare of Carrollton Texas; mother Louise Johansen Atwood of Elk Ridge, Utah; brother Michael Johansen (Lecia) of Ninety-six, South Carolina; sisters Donna Kerr (Rick) of West Point, Utah, Christine Johansen of Bremerton, Washington, and Marcia Vincent (David) of Elk Ridge, Utah, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews who she took immense pleasure in spending time with. Landra attended Orem Junior High and learned to play the Viola and the Piano during that time. She was a wonderful pianist and brought pleasure to herself and others through this talent. She attended Orem High School where she was a member of the Madrigals, an acapella group. After graduation she attended LDS Business College and later Ventura College where she studied English and Political Science. While attending LDS Business College she met and married Randy Satchwell and subsequently gave birth to her son Tyler. She lived in Ventura, California for many years where she worked as a typographer and Labor Union President. She loved her role as she represented her colleagues at Ventura College and strived to improve their lives. When she returned to Utah she used her notably charming telephone voice to become the top sales person at the company she worked for. She won many prizes and incentives for her work, one of which was a trip to Disneyland which she chose to share with her 13 year old niece. Landra loved learning and returned to school again at The College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy to become an Associate Clinical Chaplain in 2012. She had a gift for comforting and serving people which brought her great joy. She served in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints as a Temple Worker, Primary Worker, and in a Relief Society Presidency. She developed a strong testimony and loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ. During her final years she lived at Parkway Health in Payson where she often used the skills she had developed as a chaplain to alleviate the challenges of those she lived with. She started a book club at that time and would read aloud to her friends and neighbors. She will be missed by many. Providing service to those around her was an innate part of this beautiful woman. Landra made many friends through her efforts and treasured their companionship. She was intelligent, kind, well read, articulate, and enjoyed a good discussion. She delighted in family events and thoroughly enjoyed a good party. We invite you to celebrate her life with us on Saturday January 4, 2020 at the LDS Chapel at 259 E. Alpine Drive, Elk Ridge, Utah. At 11 am family and friends will gather for visiting and reminiscing in the Relief Society Room. The memorial service will start at noon in the chapel. A luncheon will be served immediately after where we plan to have one last party in her honor. Condolences can be made at www.legacyfunerals.com.
