In 1991, Johnson's mother, Ida Harris, became worried about her daughter's safety after hearing rumors of Sonia's death and receiving telephone threats against her daughter. Taking the threats to heart, Ida moved to Sonia's Wildfire Community in November 1991. Six months later, Ida passed away at the age of 86 with Sonia by her side. Ida was buried in [[Logan, Utah]], but Sonia did not attend the funeral because she had promised her mother not to return to Utah.<ref name="MOM'S UTAH BURIAL">{{cite web|url=https://www.deseret.com/1992/5/21/18985108/threat-kept-feminist-away-from-mom-s-utah-burial |title=THREAT KEPT FEMINIST AWAY FROM MOM'S UTAH BURIAL |date=May 21, 1992 |publisher=[[Deseret News]] |access-date=2019-10-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Thorne |first=Alison |date=1992 |title=Sonia Johnson Fears for Her Life |work=Salt Lake Tribune |location=Salt Lake City }}</ref>
