Luana Bunnell

Luana Porter Bunnell, 93, left this earth for her heavenly home on January 12, 2014. She was born September 16, 1920, in Blanding, Utah, the first child of Omni and Hattie Roberts Porter.



Luana grew up during the Great Depression and lived in Blanding, Mesa, Salt Lake, and Provo. She worked for the Union Pacific railroad during WWII. She enjoyed giving humourous and dramatic readings.



Luana married Elvin Wayne Bunnell on November 8, 1946. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They spent their entire married lives on a dairy farm in Lakeview.



Luana served faithfully in many church callings and positions of community service. She lived an admirable and exemplary life. Her hands were always busy with cooking, crocheting, quilting, knitting, and giving to family, friends, and anyone in need. All her posterity and countless others have her handiwork as a remembrance in their lives. Her legacy of service will be felt for generations to come. She is loved and will be missed by all who knew her.



She is survived by her five children: Wayne (Helen) Bunnell (Provo), Deanne (Bruce) Brighton (Roosevelt), Larry (Judith) Bunnell (Mt. Vernon, WA), Kurt (Karen) Bunnell (Provo), and Jana (Steve) Hoyt (Price); 22 grandchildren, and 33 great-grandchildren. Also her in-laws: Wayne Nuttall, DeLoy Gubler, and LaVeryl Porter Valadez. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her siblings: Fontella Nuttall, LaDawn Gubler, and Dan Porter.
