Marina Johnson-Good
"If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again."

A graduate of the Dhahran Junior High School in 1974, Marina was a returning student until she married Ralph Barracano, an Aramco Brat and employee of Aramco. Marina, too, became an employee of Aramco. She spent more than 24 years in Abqaiq and Dhahran, permanently leaving for the U.S. in the mid 1980's.
Marina was preceded in death by her father, Rupert J. Johnson, an employee of Aramco since 1948. She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Joseph Good, their two sons John and Jesse, her sisters Marisa Johnson Micio and Romana Johnson, and their mother Emanuelita Johnson.
