Well, look like this is the first celebrity death of 2010. Casey Johnson, of the legendary company, Johnson & Johnson, (a company that sells products from shampoos, soaps, beauty products, etc.) has died. The legendary company Johnson & Johnson was first started by her great-great grandfather, Robert Wood Johnson, one of the co-founders of Johnson & Johnson, who started it with his brothers. She was only 30 years old.
Sad. Now she can rest with Robert Wood and all the other Johnson’s who helped ran the company in the past. She was a nice looking woman too.

I sincerely doubt this 30 year old woman was the co-founder of a company founded in 1886.
Not to be rude, but co-founder would suggest that she started the company with her Robert Wood Johnson.
She’s one of the many co-founders.

A founder is someone who starts a company.
“The entrepreneur who started a business. If multiple entrepreneurs were involved in the creation of the company, they are referred to as the founders. The origin of the word is that a founder originally meant a person who forges steel; similarly, the founder of a company is forging the new entity.”
Since she was born 93 years after the company was founded she is not a co-founder. She may have been a company executive…but that is quite different.
I believe that if you’re a close family member to the many co-founders of a company, that makes you part of the co-founders.
