Jeannine Bringhurst Obituary
Hurricane, Utah
Jeannine Esplin Bringhurst, age 84, passed away in St. George, Utah. She was born July 6, 1931, to William H. Esplin and Mary Vinona Spendlove in Hurricane, Utah.
Jeannine was a graduate of Hurricane High School. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she participated as a Relief Society Teacher, a Cub Scout Leader, a Visiting Teacher and helped in the Cannery.
She was married to her sweetheart, Benjamin Ray Bringhurst, on December 27, 1949, in Kanarraville, Utah.
Anyone who knew Jeannine knows she dedicated her life to her family. She never forgot a birthday or missed a special event for a grandchild. It wasn't unusual for her grandchildren to carry around a birthday card from "Grandma Great" for weeks after their birthday. Jeannine was a woman with great intellect and had a passion for learning. She read voraciously and tore through books with great intensity. Often, her family caught her reading a book late into the night. Jeannine kept her home immaculate, and her cooking was treasured by all those lucky enough to sit at her kitchen table. Jeannine loved passing her time in conversation with friends and relatives. She also loved making quilts and continually gave them away to commemorate special occasions.
She is preceded in death by her parents (William and Vinona), and her brother-in-law (Gary Davis).
She is survived by her husband, Benjamin Ray Bringhurst, in the Southern Utah Veterans Home in Ivins, UT; her children David E. Bringhurst in Hurricane, UT; Craig Ray Bringhurst (Julie) in Hurricane, UT; Ben J. Bringhurst (Elizabeth) in Draper, UT; brothers John Esplin (Edie) and Ken Esplin (Dayle); her sister Diane Davis (Gary); 11 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Friday, March 25, 2016, at 11:00 am at the LDS Chapel located at 1177 W. Greens Lake Dr., Cedar City, UT. Viewing will be held Friday morning from 9:30-10:30 am at the church. Interment will be in the Cedar City Cemetery under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary. Online condolences can be made at www.sumortuary.com.

We remember our dear aunt Jeannine and her family. She will always be remembered as a sweet lady that we used to visit on our way through Utah.
We stopped by and visited with Benny in November at the time of my father's funeral services (Ralph is Benny's younger brother)
May the boys be at peace and that we will all meet again one day in Paradise.
Thanks for all the happy memories and joy we received from you.
Sincerely,
The Steven Ralph Bringhurst family

Dear Ben and Family:
I am sorry to hear of Jeannine's passing. It's always hard to lose a loved one.
Sherie and I loved spending time with Ben and Jeannine. Saddened to see how small our "group of eight" is now, down to three, but I know she is in a better place with many friends and family to greet her.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May you find peace and comfort in the coming days.

I wanted to send my sympathy for your loss. I remember happy times spent with Jeannine and Ben, and I am sorry to see them separated by Jeannine's passing. May you be comforted in knowing that theirs was a special bond. I think about the good times Jeannine and I had visiting while Ben and Bill (my husband, who passed in November of 2014) were golfing. May your family be comforted at this time of profound loss.
