Genevieve Jeny Hafner Wood

Genevieve Jeny Hafner Wood, 89, was born October 20, 1918 in Spokane, Washington Charles Henry Hafner and Ingrid Berg Hafner. She was one of four children. She died Friday, December 28, 2007 in Orem, Utah. Jeny?s father worked for a company that transferred him to various locations, one of which was Brigham City, Utah. While there, Jeny became friends with Elaine Wood, who introduced Jeny to her brother, Earl. Earl and Jeny were married March 26, 1938. He died November 27, 2006. They lived with Earl?s parents for two years where Earl assisted his father running the family ranch in Howell, during which time their oldest son Robert was born. In 1940, Earl purchased his own farm, located a mile from the original ranch. Their second son Larry was born while they were living there. Later on, Earl & Jeny purchased his father?s ranch and operated it until their retirement in 1979. All through her life, Jeny enjoyed flower gardening and needlework. Into her 80?s she would spend several hours each day in the yard, providing tender love and care to her precious plants. She rarely sat down for any length of time without also doing some type of needlework. As a result many of her family members, friends, and acquaintances are recipients of one or more pieces of her handiwork. She was preceded in death by her older brother, Raymond. She is survived by her two younger brothers, Vern and Charles Jr. and by her two sons, Robert Kathie and Larry Geri. She has nine grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and eight great-great- grandchildren.
