Today is the birthday of Jaynette Jones Grimard of Nephi, Utah

She was born Lana Jaynette Jones, as her parents liked Lana Turner. But this young lady was more of a Jaynette, so she went by that name and spelled it a little different. Of all the photos we have of her, the radiant smile is always there, except one, and today we finally figured out why. At Christmas, she always got dolls, and she wasn't a doll girl. She wanted to do the things her four older brothers did, such as play Cowboys and Indians, so it wasn't long before she rode a horse fast, and got in to competitive barrel racing. She is proud of her family, being born of goodly parents and there may not be a family that has traveled and served throughout the world like this Nephi Jones family, including Jaynette, who got lost in India for a time. Her sons and grandsons are athletic studs and her daughters and granddaughters are pretty; athletic and happily smart. The evidence of her not liking dolls is shown in the 1960's Christmas photo of Jaynette, Blake Garrett, Laura, Merrill Sanders, Gary Jones; Santa, Ann Sparks, Jenny, Paula Garrett. Santa just announced that Jaynette was getting another doll for Christmas, and she wasn't happy. Jaynette is a devoted wife, and now caring for her husband-JP Grimard who is on a slow recovery from a construction accident. Happy Birthday little sister.
