Jennie Bankston

Jennie was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, mother, aunt, sister-in-law, and cherished friend whose love and generosity touched everyone who knew her. She dedicated 24 years of service to AutoZone, where her knowledge, commitment, and leadership earned the respect of colleagues and customers alike. Jennie could run the store with her eyes closed - a testament to her hard work, dependability, and dedication.

Known for her unwavering loyalty and fierce love for family and friends, Jennie was someone people could always count on. She embraced life with enthusiasm and joy, rarely missing an opportunity to gather with loved ones. Whether she was enjoying happy hour, a girls' night out, or putting her knowledge to the test at trivia night, Jennie treasured making memories and sharing laughter with those she loved.

Her warm spirit, strength, and kindness will be deeply missed, but the love she shared and the countless lives she touched will remain in the hearts of all who knew her forever. ❤️

She was preceded in death by her Father, Ronald Blair; Best Friend, Kathy Lewis; Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles.

Left to cherish Jennie’s memory are her Husband of 17 years, Damon Bankston of Miamisburg, Ohio; Mother, Regina (Doug) Elsass of Waxahachie, Texas; Sister, Ericka (Amy) Cashero of Beavercreek, Ohio; Daughter, Alexis Blair-Smith of Dayton, Ohio; loving Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and countless Friends.
