Leone Bennett Obituary
1924 ~ 2020
Mom passed through the veil into the loving arms of her eternal companion, John Elvin Bennett, on October 29, 2020. She looked forward to this day and we find joy & comfort in knowing that they are together again. They were married on May 20, 1943 just before he shipped overseas to join the conflict of WWll. Born to Harry & Thelma Walker Quayle on October 27, 1924.
Mom was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a true disciple of Christ. She taught us unconditional love, how to be a true friend, to be of service whenever you get the chance, and to have integrity in everything we do. The fun memories we have of her quick wit and sweet personality will keep a smile on our face for years to come.
She is survived by her children, John G. (Melba), Wayne Q., Nancy (Dick) Heath, Susan (Jeff) White; sister-in-law, Ruth Bennett; 33 grandchildren, 65 great grandchildren,and 12 great, great grandchildren. Preceded in death by her husband; parents; son, David Paul; grandson, Mark; and daughter-in-law, Penny.
The family would like to thank Summit Hospice and the office of Dr. Roy Gandolfi for their tender and kind care of mom.
Due to COVID restrictions Private Family Services will be held. In lieu of flowers: Take your family to Leatherbys, (mom's favorite place), laugh and have a good time.

Johnny & I so loved your Mom. She was such a great lady. We got to know her when she worked for our family @ the Arctic Circle. She was such a hard worker as all that group of women were. Then we got to further our friendship with her @ church. I was her visiting teacher with Joanne for several years.bI would look forward to those visits with her. I have been thinking about her lately & didn’t know she had died. I’m sure she was ready to see John again. Her sweet spunky spirit will be missed! Jeri Gust

What would I like to say. Gosh thats a hard question. Great grandma is one of the strongest, most gentle people I've ever known. Her cookies are to die for!! I'll never forget the times spent running around her house, climbing onto her garage and jumping off the front porch. Deer hunt cookies were always my most favorite part of going! Great grandma I love you. Im going to miss you terribly. I wish the jazz would have won that championship like we had always dreamed of for you.
Love, Cody

Dear Susan & all members of the Bennett Family, Sending you warm wishes as you look back and reminisce. I have such nice memories of Leone. She was fun and pleasant and so engaging. I love the photo you included on her obituary. It shows that glint in her eye and her kind smile. Sending love.

Leone was an amazing lady, an example to all who knew her. I grew up across the street from the Bennett family and our family loved this family. My parents were great friends of Bishop and Leone. Well done though good and faithful servant. Garth and Kim Goates.
