Janeil Hovey Bankhead
On May 9, 2012 Janeil Hovey Bankhead returned home to her Heavenly Father after her fight with Leukemia. Janeil was born in Millville March 31, 1935 to Vern and Jennie Hovey, the second of four children. Mom met Ray Bankhead on the dance floor at the Elite Hall in Hyrum. They married on June 3, 1955 in the Logan LDS Temple. After they were married Janeil worked at Logan Knitting Mills until the first of the three boys came along. Since then she has been a stay at home wife and mother, spending her time raising the family and helping out on the family farm where ever she could.
Janeil’s greatest satisfaction in life was caring for the needs of family and friends she was surrounded by. As a family we never had to worry about the day to days things we all depend on. When she wasn’t taking care of the house and yard she was helping on the farm . She drove the hay trucks, rowed bales, and bottle fed the baby calves, which got the same love and care as the family. Janeil enjoyed family traditions and made sure they carried on and that all were invited to be a part of them. She also helped care for her mother in law, Libby, during her final years. Janeil and her mother, Jennie, were best friends and spent a lot’s of time together after Janeil’s father died in 1973, and was Jennie’s caretaker in her later years.
Being a grandmother was Janeil’s greatest joy. She taught her grandkids the important things of life by example and the life she lived. When they visited Grandma they always knew you were loved and that she was going to spoil you.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she held many positions that brought her great pleasure in serving including Stake Primary President, singing in the ward choir, Cub Scout leader, and most recently Ward Librarian which was perhaps her favorite.
Janeil is survived by her husband of 56 years, Ray Bankhead (Wellsville).Three sons, Lex (Clarene) Bankhead of Rexburg Idaho, Kent (Susan) Bankhead of Wellsville, and Keven (Stacey) Bankhead of Mt. Sterling. Ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. A sister Valoyce (Dean, deceased) Jensen of Hughson Calif. Brothers Arlan (Gayla) Hovey, and Clinton (Teresa) Hovey both of Millville.
