Barbara Jean Graves-Linnebach 'Jeanie' We say goodbye with heavy hearts to our wife, mother, grandmother and friend, Barbara Jean Graves-Linnebach. Jeanie passed away April 4th, 2008. She passed away peacefully in the early morning hours with her loving husband by her side, after a valiant battle with cancer. Jeanie was born May 26th, 1953 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Richard "Dick" and Barbara Rundle. She attended South High School as a youth and returned to Alta High School as an adult to earn her High School diploma. She married Shawn Michael Graves-Linnebach "Mike" August 23, 1969 in Salt Lake City Utah. Jeanie's children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. She devoted her life to her family and her dogs (Chomper, Frodo, and Mortie). She loved holidays, especially Christmas and July 4th, where family and friends would gather together at her home. Jeanie had many interests; she devoted many years to the Utah Women's Bowling Association where she served many positions, including President. She was a lifetime member of the National Women's Bowling Association and was inducted into the Utah Bowling Hall of Fame in 2003. Jeanie was also gifted with her hands. Jeanie loved to sew, embroider, and bead and was always making items for friends and family. She was well known for her beautiful quilts for which she won many awards. Jeanie never did anything halfway. She was strong-willed and committed. She was a loyal life-long friend to Eva and Cindy and a best friend to her daughters, Shahara and Sara. She loved to spend hours on long drives with Mike, having coffee with her friends, or shopping with her girls. Jeanie is survived by her husband, Shawn "Mike"; her children, Shawn Linnebach (Geri), Glen Linnebach (Melissa), Shahara Clark (Jeff), and Sara Linnebach; and her grandchildren, Mikayla, Rilee, Hayden, Michael, Amara, Graff, Grayson, and Ava; sister Linda Hesse (Joe) and brother Dick Rundle (Jodi).
