Jennie BUNCH Obituary

BUNCH, Jennie Lou (nee Irwin) passed away on Monday, June 12, 2017 due to complications of COPD. She was 72. She was born in Silver City, NM, but her home was in Arizona. She spent her childhood years in Pinetop and San Manuel, settling in Catalina to start and raise her family. She was a caring and supportive mom to daughter, Susan (Bill) and son, Larry Jr. She loved her grandchildren, Ciara, Larry, James, OJ, Nate, Chenille and her two great-grandsons. She loved everything fishing related and lived for weekend fishing trips to San Carlos and Lake Roosevelt with the family. When she wasn't able to make those trips later on in life, her next obsession became playing Word with Friends on her iPad where it wasn't uncommon for her to have 40 games playing at once. She loved puzzles, scratch tickets, trivia games and sitting out in the back porch visiting with her numerous friends and close neighbors. She was spunky, truthful and knew exactly what she wanted. She was a great friend to many and will be greatly missed.

To the Bunch Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Oh my dear Jenny Lou - I know how much you loved life so it is still very hard for me to believe that you are gone. I look across the street at your home and I still think that you are sitting on your couch watching tv or sitting outside on your back porch enjoying the outdoors. Not long before you left us I made a meatloaf - baked potato - some veggies and brought them over to you along with a piece of Marie Calendar lemon meringue pie. I told you that it was my famous meatloaf and I would check back with you to see how much you loved it. When I got home and tried my famous meatloaf - it was horrible! I don't know what happened but it was so bad that I had to throw it away. I am so sorry that I didn't make it over to see what you thought of it - we could have had a good laugh! Your sense of humor was amazing - I will never ever forget the time that I raced home from working at the U of A on a Friday night and I wanted to mow my grass befor it got dark - I had on a very nice dress with panty hose and high heels - I grabbed the lawnmower and started mowing. I remember you came outside and hollered at me from across the street - you said - hey Cheryl - what do you wear when you go out and I said. - what do you mean - and you said - well I was just wondering because if you dress up this much to mow your grass - then I am wondering - how much more you dress up when you go out? Oh my gosh - I laughed so hard and so did you! We have laughed about that so many times over the years. It has been very comforting to look across the street and see your living room light on - it makes me believe that you are still home - sitting on your couch watching tv and playing your games. Tonight the light is off - your house is dark and I know you are gone. God Bless you Jenny Lou. Even though I didn't get over to see you very often - it was still comforting to know that you were there. You were a beautiful Angel here on earth - and now you are a beautiful Angel in Heaven. I love you Jenny Lou - and I miss you. You are free - free of pain and suffering. Thank you for the beautiful memories. You will forever live in my heart. Fly high little Angel - go with God. Amen.
