Kristine Lois Johnson Wilber, was born in New York City at Madison
Hospital on April 5, 1951. Her parents, Don and Clara Johnson, moved
to Fairplay, Colorado, a year later, where she lived until 1963 when
the family moved to Cortez, Colorado.

After graduating from Fort Lewis College, Kris (Krista as known by
her friends) moved to the Boulder area where she raised her family
and led an interesting life of work, joy in music and a voracious
love of reading. She always had a beloved dog or two that played
into the picture.

She earned her master’s in behavioral addiction and worked in
Boulder County. Later Kris moved to the Prescott, Arizona, area and
became a part of that community cultivating enduring friendships
with neighbors and their dogs. These friends were always there for
her.

She died Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017 and will be remembered by all who
came in contact with her.

Kris was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Clara Johnson.

She is survived by her daughter, Jessica Wilber, and husband, Lynn
Wilber, of Jamestown, Colorado; sister and brother-in-law Karla and
Gary Sampson of Albuquerque, New Mexico; brother and sister-in-law
Matt Johnson and Jen Holmes of Flagstaff, Arizona; numerous cousins,
nieces and nephews; and many friends. The family would like to thank
all the caring staff at Maggie’s Hospice in Prescott and Valley View
Care in Cottonwood, Arizona.

If you would like to remember Krista in some way, please donate to
your favorite charity.
