Jennie spent summers in Caribou Mountains where her father herded sheep. After graduating from Idaho Falls High School, she worked in a little café on Broadway where she met Lee. They were married on July 21, 1952, in the LDS church on N. Boulevard. Their marriage was sealed in Idaho Falls Temple on July 17, 1965. Lee and Jennie were blessed with two sons, Tom (Marlene) Wilson and Reuben (Kim) Wilson and three daughters, Janet (Kenny) Sanders, Judy (Doyle) Hill, and Chris (Pete) Italiano, all of Idaho Falls. Jennie worked hard most of her life. She started working for Ernst Home Center when they first opened and spent 17 years there before she retired. She made many friends there and loved meeting new people. Jennie’s life was centered around her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. She was always attending baseball games, dance recitals, soccer games and any other sporting event they were involved in. She was always on the sidelines rooting them on. She loved hearing about anything her family was doing, whether it was work or play. She had 16 grandchildren and 42 great grandchildren. When they weren’t spending time with the kids, Lee and Jennie loved spending time at their cabin on Sheep Mountain in the Bone area. They spent many days snowmobiling, fishing, or simply sitting and reading a good book there. They loved playing pinochle with friends and had many dear friends. Jennie was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved attending the Osgood Ward. Survived by five kids, 16 grandkids, 42 great grandkids and her four younger sisters.
