Janiece Wright Snively

Janiece Wright Snively passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, after battling Parkinson’s Disease. Janiece was born on May 13, 1947 in Tooele, Utah to Russel and Beverly (Hatch) Wright. She was the oldest of six children, raised in Grantsville, Utah. She graduated from Grantsville High School in 1965. During her high school years, Janiece was a member of the Lariettes, and was Miss Grantsville 1964.

Janiece was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She married Fred Snively on June 30, 1967. Fred and Janiece were later sealed for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple in 1988, on their 21st wedding anniversary. They made their home in Grantsville, Utah, where they raised their three children. Janiece was a devoted wife and mother, and supported her family in all they did. She also worked outside the home for the U.S Government, Grantville Gazette, and Tooele County School District. 

Janiece loved Southern Utah, especially Tropic, where she spent a lot of time visiting grandparents as a young child, and later camping with her family at the Tropic Reservoir.
