Jeannette Lucille Fox
February 8, 1950 — April 5, 2015
Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend, Jeannette Lucille Fox, passed away on Easter Morning, 5 April 2015 after a short illness. She was born 8 February 1950 in Provo, Utah to Wayne Eugene Wood and Alta Mae King. She was raised in Pleasant Grove and attended school there, graduating from Pleasant Grove High School in 1968.
On 18 September 1968 she married Henson Frank Walker. He died in Vietnam in 1969. She then married James Robert Mills on 23 June 1971 in the Salt Lake Temple, and together they had three children, Tamara, Jay Ray, and James Robert Jr. Jim tragically passed away on 11 September 1976. On 27 August 1982 she married Bruce Alan Fox and became a mother to his two children, Kristen and Kyle. Bruce and Jeannette then had one son together, Adam.
Jeannette was an angel on earth. She was a caretaker and always went that extra mile to serve others. She was an amazing mother and loving grandmother. Her grandchildren worshiped her. She loved her family, friends, and especially her Savior. She had an unwavering testimony of the Gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We know it had to be difficult for her to leave us, but we are comforted to know that she is being reunited with so many loved ones.
Jeannette was preceded in death by two husbands, Frank Walker and Jim Mills; and her mother, Alta Mae Wood.
She is survived by her husband, Bruce Fox; her six children, Tamara (Michael) Thomas, Jay (Lisa) Mills, James (Amy) Mills, Kristen Fox, Kyle (Carrie) Fox, and Adam (Annie) Fox; her father, Wayne Wood; her mother-in-law, Darleen Fox; two sisters, Annette (Larry) Saling, Lorraine (Pierre) Schutz; four brothers, Tom (Tammy) Wood, Cliff (Nanette) Wood, David Wood, Jerry (Amber) Wood; 17 grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and in-laws.
