Life & Legacy
Janiece Wright Snively
May 13, 1947 — January 17, 2023
Grantsville
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. Janiece was happiest when she was surrounded by her family, and she was a fun-loving grandma who loved to tease and laugh, sometimes until she cried.

My dearest smpathy to the Snively family. Being best friends in highschool with Shara, I grew up knowing Janiece, she was a kind loving mother who always had something yummy cooking in the oven. I remember Shara telling me how good the rubarb pie was that she was taught how to make, and her love for cooking no doubt came from watching her mother and grandmother cooking all those different pie's at thanksgiving. That is just one memory I have of this wonderful woman. I love you Shara, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Janiece was such a sweetheart. We did some volunteering together but I really got to know her much better when we worked together at Tooele & then later at Dugway. What a pleasant, caring, happy lady. She was a great friend and will be missed by many.

We are saddened to hear of Janiece's passing. She was a sweet person. My mom loved her. She was so kind to her when my family moved to Grantsville in 1970 to attend high school. She and Fred raised a lovely family. She will be greatly missed.

Our love and condolences to all of Janiece’s family. We think of you all as family since you all “adopted” us into the Wright family back in the ‘80’s. We thank you for that. Looking at her picture I can just hear her laugh. We miss you all and wish we could be there for her funeral. We will be thinking of you all. Love, Russ and Wendy

Dear Snively and Wright families, Our love and condolences are sent with heartfelt gratitude for Janice and her life. She, and your families, have been an important part of my life. I wish circumstances would have been better to attend the funeral. It would have been a wonderful reunion with all of you! Such fond memories! Like…Janice and family ‘camping out’ on our front lawn. The sprinklers coming on at midnight. Janice ringing the doorbell and apologizing for waking us at that late hour. Karl, responding, “It’s OK. I had to get up and answer the doorbell anyway.” Janice laughing and scolding him. 😁
Please know of our love for Janice and each of you! May the Lord bless you with peace and His joy. ❤️ Karl and LaPriel Wilson.
