Camille N. Johnson

Relief Society General President

Camille N. Johnson has “always felt at home” in Relief Society.

“I found sisterhood among women who were different than me,” she said of her experiences in Relief Society, including 30-plus years in family wards in the United States and Peru. “I love the vitality and wisdom of the women in Relief Society.”

She has found mentors and friends in Relief Society, including some who are older and younger than she is.

“We are all sisters with a shared experience in our desire to return to our heavenly home but with diverse experiences that we can draw upon to help one another,” Sister Johnson said.

Sister Johnson has been serving as Primary General President for the past year. She will begin her service as Relief Society General President on August 1.

One of her favorite callings has been to teach in Relief Society.

“I have loved the opportunity to engage the sisters and to be taught by the Spirit and each other during that sacred hour in Relief Society. It is there that we talk of Christ and rejoice in Christ and address matters of the heart.”

Camille Neddo was born in September 1963 to Hal and Dorothy Neddo in Pocatello, Idaho, USA. She married Douglas R. Johnson on July 31, 1987, in the Salt Lake Temple. They have three sons and five grandchildren.

She graduated from the University of Utah in English in 1985 and from the University of Utah S. J. Quinney College of Law in 1989. She worked for more than 30 years as a lawyer and was president of the Snow Christensen & Martineau law firm.
