MaryAnn Wible-Johnson, 76, died Saturday, April 20, 2019 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Her early career was a Home Economics teacher in the Fairbanks school district and later in life she worked for the Marysville Journal Tribune, sold her unique handcrafted arts and ventured into real estate and appraisal work.

She inspired others with her gifted ability to capture everyday moments or objects and transform them with perspicacious artistic vision and insightful prose. She was quick-witted, appreciated good humor in others and cherished time with her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed travelling and was an avid birder, gardener, antique collector, and crafter.
