Elizabeth Johnson
General Manager & Director

Raised in the Salem area, Elizabeth graduated from Sprague High School before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Eastern Oregon University. Alongside her husband, she cherishes a family of four children, two furry companions, and anticipates the arrival of their first grandchild. In her elusive spare moments, Elizabeth enjoys crocheting and knitting, exploring new places, relishing the tunes of '80s hair bands, and spending time with her family. Actively engaged in her community, she lends support to local non-profits such as Believe-In Your Community and Magic Wheelchair, teaches at her church, and joyfully participates in ringing the Salvation Army Bells during her favorite season, Christmas time.

In 2019, Elizabeth obtained her director's license, solidifying her belief that being a Funeral Director is more than just a job—it's a profound calling of guiding others through genuinely challenging moments.
