Philip Myron Johnson, age 80, of Albia, Iowa, joined his heavenly father on March 4, 2015, at the Monroe Care Center of Albia, Iowa. Myron was born on March 25, 1934 In Fredrick, Iowa. He was the son of Lloyd and Lolo Gladys (Thompson) Johnson. Myron was raised in rural Eddyville and attended Coalfield Country School. Myron married the love of his life, Marilyn Jean Gutch, on November 14, 1954, in Ottumwa, Iowa. They were able to share 60 years together before his passing. They were blessed with four children: Norman, Nolan, Lowell, and LeLand. Myron was a veteran of the US Army and retired from the Iowa Department of Transportation after 30 years of service. Myron enjoyed to dance with his bride, teach his sons and others about the great outdoors, and was a trapping enthusiast. Myron was a founding member of the Iowa Trappers Association and an active member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, using his God given gifts to serve others. Those who knew Myron will remember his welcoming smile, his love for his wife and family; and his willingness to lend a helping hand and his tenacity in a game of pitch or pinochle. Myron is survived by his bride of 60 years Marilyn of Albia; four sons, Norman (Sandra) Johnson, Nolan Johnson, Lowell (Mary Ellen) Johnson and Leland Johnson; nine grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.
