Rhoda Bennett, loving wife, mother, aunt, and sister passed away on Thursday, April 9, 2020 at a local assisted living facility. She was born July 16, 1932 in Chesterfield, Idaho to Ferrebee, and Ivy May Lancaster Butterfield. She graduated from North Gem High School in 1950. Later on she attended LDS Business College.
She met Vern L. Bennett at the Deleta Ball Room in Pocatello on July 18, 1953. He claimed it was, “Love at first sight.” They were engaged three weeks later and married for time and all eternity on October 1, 1953 in the Logan, Utah temple. She and Vern were almost inseparable for 56 years until his death in 2009. They became the parents of three children.
She worked as a legal secretary for almost forty years, thirty-one of it as a Bannock County deputy clerk for first judge Arthur P. Oliver, and then for judge William Woodland. She loved bowling, bingo, and basketball (ISU women’s that is). But most of all she loved doing things with her family.
