Our dear Mom and wife, Juanita Bingham John, peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father on May 9, 2025, at the age of 73, after a life richly lived in service and kindness. She was a wonderful wife and mother who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance. A friend to many, she was a cherished member of the community in Blackfoot Idaho, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and strength.

Juanita was born on June 26, 1951 in Honeyville, Utah to Reed and Rosemary Bingham. 

She married the love of her life, DuWyane Byington John on July 28, 1969, they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan, Utah temple on January 28, 1974. 

Her love for the Savior, Jesus Christ, was the guiding force in her life. As a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she strived each day to follow Him- not only in word, but in deed. Through sincere prayer, daily scripture study, and faithful service in her home and church, she sought to become more like Him. Her covenant relationship with Christ- renewed weekly through the sacrament and deepened in sacred temple worship-anchored her soul. In every trial and every joy, she turned to the Savior, whose love, Atonement and grace were central to her faith and her purpose. 

She was a devoted mother to her six children, whom she loved deeply and supported unconditionally throughout her life. Her greatest joy came from watching them grow, succeed, and raise families of their own. She celebrated their achievements, comforted them in times of trail, and was always just a phone call away with words of wisdom, faith, or a warm laugh. Her love for her children was steady, selfless, and enduring- a true reflection of her strength, compassion and unwavering commitment to family. 

From 2010-2012 and again from 2014-2016, Mom faithfully served two full-time missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pocatello Idaho Mission alongside her eternal companion. They served as housing coordinators, dedicating their time and talents to ensuring missionaries had safe, clean, and welcoming places to live. She approached her calling with love, organization, and a deep sense of purpose, seeing each apartment not just as a place to stay, but as a sacred space where the Lord’s servants could find rest and peace. Her service reflected unwavering faith and her desire to support the Lord’s work in any way she could. 

Each Sunday, Juanita and her sister, Naomi set aside time to connect by phone and work on their family history together- a cherished tradition that has strengthened both their bond and testimony. As they searched records, share stories, and piece together their ancestry, they felt the Spirit guiding their efforts and deepening their love for those who came before. That weekly time had become more than just a task- it was a sacred opportunity to serve, remember, and honor their family while participating in the Lord’s work of gathering Israel on both sides of the veil.

She is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, DuWayne Byington John; her six children Tammy (Rodney) Billman, Brigham (Shondee) John, Teresa Crane, Tonya (Mel) Osborne, Tinelle (Jeff) Sproles, Brenda (Joseph) Felton; twenty-eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. 

She is also survived by her Mother, Rosemary Bingham, and sister Naomi Woods, and brothers Richard and Ray Bingham.

She was preceded in death by her father Reed Bingham, brother Brigham Bingham and sister Viola Watt. 

Funeral Services were held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Hawker Funeral Home, 132 S Shilling Ave, Blackfoot Idaho.
