BIOGRAPHY
Benjamin Ray Bringhurst, born September 26, 1926 in Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away on March 7, 2017 at the Veterans Home in Ivins, Utah. Ben lived 90 years and brought laughter and smiles to many. Ben is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jeannine Bringhurst, in March of 2016. Ben and Jeannine were married December 27, 1949 and later sealed in the St. George Temple.
Ben leaves his sons David Bringhurst, Craig Bringhurst (Julie), Ben Bringhurst (Elizabeth), and brother, Reed Bringhurst (Marguerite), and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Ben spent his youth in Toquerville, Utah, on his dad?s farm. People loved hearing stories from his mischievous youth. He honorably served in the United States Army during World War II. He served as a Staff Sergeant and went into Japan shortly after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ben met his sweetheart, Jeannine, and they were happily married for 67 years. Ben tirelessly worked to support his family driving truck for his entire career. He worked grueling hours to provide his sons with opportunities.
Ben spent his retirement years with his many friends doing his two great passions in life hiking and golfing. Many a times his family found him in the yard gardening and all looked forward to his squash, tomatoes, and carrots. His grandkids loved his perfectly green, manicured grass and looked forward to spending time with him there. Many hours were spent in the pursuit of croquet championships with Grandpa Bringhurst. He also donated much of his time at the cannery. He was strong and active into his late 80?s and kept his remarkable wit and sense of humor even through the trials of dementia. Ben showered his love on his many grandchildren affectionately calling them all ?little biscuit eaters.?
The family would like to give special thanks to the VA home in Ivins and Payson where Ben resided in the memory unit for the last two years. We would also like to thank our extended family, Bishop Robinson and the Ward for all of their loving care throughout the years.
A viewing will be held in the Cedar Stake Center, 155 East 400 South, Cedar City, Utah where Ben resided for the last 20 plus years. The viewing is Saturday, March 11, from 11:30 am to 12:30.
