JOHNSON, Maricela Anaid

Crystal Rose Funeral Home, Tolleson, Arizona Maricela Anaid Johnson was born on August 15, 2007 and, unfortunately, passed away on the morning of December 16, 2008 due to respiratory failure. Even though she had an extended medical history for being so young, she never let it get to her. She was our little fighter when the odds were against her. All the doctors, nurses, therapists, and others that were involved, loved her so much. Everyone also had there own nichname for her like, Lamb Chop, Chela, and Guera. She could make anyone smile, even strangers in the waiting room. We all believed her to be our little angel. Despite, her shortened life, she did so much for us. Maricela changed the way we looked at the world. She let us see that every day could be the last and you have to enjoy each one as it comes. Maricela is survived by her mother, Amanda Johnson, grandmothers, Desi and Maria, grandfathers, Mark and Vernon, aunt, Alondra, and great grandparents, Jeff and Patti Bergeron. She will forever live in our hearts until we are reunited when she greets us at the pearly gates. We all love you Maricela Anaid Johnson.
