Janna Dee Graham Herbert

September 1, 1945 — May 1, 2015

Janna Dee Graham Herbert "That's My Girl" Janna Dee Graham Herbert of Taylorsville, Utah, passed away peacefully at her home on May 1, 2015. She was the born in Ogden, Utah, on September 1, 1945, to Arnold and Afton Graham. While Jan suffered from the effects of polio since the age of three, never did she complain or engage in self pity. Her amazing enthusiasm and positive outlook on life was contagious. Her beauty and grace were second to none. Jan was a true hero to all who knew her. Jan attended Brigham Young Academy and Provo High School where she met the absolute love of her life, Micheal B. Herbert, of Provo. They both graduated from the class of 1963. Mike and Jan were married on June 4, 1965, in the Salt Lake Temple. Jan passed away just one month short of their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Mike & Jan were true love birds. They have cared for one another in every way, completely devoted to each other. Jan loved to read, travel, play cards, and go to lunch with her wonderful friends. She loved her friends with all of her heart. Jan adored her husband, siblings, cousins, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Nothing was more important to her than her family. She also loved her cabin at Wildwood, where many treasured memories were made. She was an active member of the LDS Church where she served as Relief Society President and in the Young Women's. Jan exemplified through her actions and service her great love for her Savior, Jesus Christ. She is survived by her sister, Jacqueline (Stanley) Smith of Provo; brother, Gary (Becky) Graham of American Fork; children, Stacy (Breck) Sheffield of Murray, Holly Speights of Herriman, Brett (Jana) Herbert of Lehi, and Robyn (Kendle) Tuttle of Taylorsville. "Nanny" to her 16 grandchildren and one great-grandchild on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents, Arnold Earl Graham and Afton Fisher Graham; and her oldest child, her beloved Stacy Sheffield. We take solace knowing that her body is now free from pain, free to run, jump, and dance. A celebration of her life will be held Friday May 8, 2015, at 11:00 am in the Taylorsville Valley Park LDS Stake Center, 2603 West 4700 South, in Taylorsville, Utah, where a formal viewing will be held Thursday night, May 7, 2015, from 6:00 8:00 p.m. A viewing will be held prior to the funeral on Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the church.
