Aileen Evelyn Jones (Bender) McInally was born Friday, October 9, 1925, at home on the farm in Juanita Township, Vassar, Michigan, the daughter of Harry Louis and Louise M. (Schmidt) Jones. She came into this world at 8 o’clock in the morning as her mother heard the school bell ring at the time of her birth.
Aileen was the first-born child and later welcomed a sister Janet (Norm) Hebert who became her constant companion and also a brother Timothy (Janis) Jones. Her childhood pet was a dog named Snookie.
Growing up during the depression, the family moved as her father found work in various places. The family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, during the first year of her life as her father found work with his brother. After returning to Michigan, she remembers walking to Kindergarten in downtown Saginaw, where she had fond memories of enjoying graham crackers and milk. She attended first and second grades at Ricker Elementary in Buena Vista Township. Third and fourth grades were attended at Bridgeport Elementary. It was in 3rd grade when her musical talent really blossomed. Her natural talent caught the eye of the teacher and she was made rhythm band leader, quite the honor. Years later, she would learn to play the marimba, xylophone, tambourine, organ, and piano all by ear. Aileen had great musical ability and was a gifted singer, performing publicly for many occasions throughout the years.
From 5th grade on, she grew up in Reese, where she attended school and graduated with the class of 1943 from Reese High School, where she was a cheerleader all four years.
As a teenager, Aileen taught Sunday School. She sang in both the Junior and Senior Choir for her church Christ Lutheran in Reese, Michigan.
Following graduation, Aileen worked at the General Motors gun plant during the war times. Later, she attended Junior College and Bay City Business College. She was also employed at Morley Brothers. She worked many years in the Bender family business as a bookkeeper and secretary. Eventually, being employed as the secretary for the Carpenter’s Union local #706.
Her passion for music and her beautiful singing voice caught the attention of many. She was an instrumentalist and professional vocalist with various dance bands. Her stage name was “Jeanne.” Her name emerged in some conspicuous places. Her singing career began in the 1960’s when she joined such groups as the Arlis Woodward Band, Art Galonska, Hal Spencer, Rex O’Dell’s Orkettes, as well as the Dick Murphy band and Ron Zita’s group also known as Mr. Z, among others. She performed at the Highlife Inn, Bancroft Hotel, Bintz’s Apple Mountain, Tri-City Airport’s Skyroom, and several local country clubs including the Caro Country Club and the Pontiac Country Club. She also performed at the Pontiac Silverdome and many other locations in the Detroit area, where she later did a studio recording in the 1980‘s. “Jeanne” was billed as a “top female vocalist” with Jerry Lovay’s “Men of Music” at the local city’s premier Bintz’s Apple Mountain, Sky Room. She sang at the annual Policeman’s Ball with the Chuck Henning Band. She sang in all the favorite live-music clubs all around the state of Michigan. She sang everything from pop to jazz.
She enjoyed singing and dancing as well as roller/dance skating at Brockway Roller Rink and at the rink in Livonia. She was an avid skater who skated regularly until the age of 70.
She married Fredrick L. Bender, June 9, 1945. Together, they raised 10 children whom she loved dearly. She was a devoted, attentive, and loving mother who doted on her children.
She had strong Christian values and was active in the Lutheran Church. She was a former member of Christ Lutheran, Reese, Immanuel Lutheran, Frankentrost, Redeemer Lutheran, Saginaw, and current member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Saginaw.
She was a caregiver, a patriot, loving wife, wonderful mother, cherished grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved and served her Savior all her days.
One time she told us, "This is what I learned from growing up. It is important to take an active part in your school activities, studies, and grades. Hard work is good for you because it helps you prepare for opportunities in the future. Children should be taught the value and responsibility of money and how to save for the future."
She always said to take good care of your teeth, your feet, and your eyes. Aileen loved life and lived it. Aileen died peacefully in her sleep, on Friday, August 22, 2014 at Luther Manor Rehab Center, Saginaw, Michigan. Her beautiful voice now sings with Heavenly Choirs.
Aileen was preceded in death by a former husband Fredrick L. Bender, her parents, and son Fredrick Alan Bender, as well as grandson Brian Bender and niece Cindy Hebert. Aileen is survived by her children and their spouses, Karen (Barry) Johnson, of Woodbury, MN, Kathy Bender and Sharon Bender of Saginaw, MI, Jeanne (Richard) Fizell of Olathe, KS, Rick (Sue) Bender of Saginaw, MI, Gary (Deb) Bender, Saginaw, Mark (Sharon) Bender of Portland, MI, David (Jean) Bender of Saginaw, MI, Janet (Monty) Cross of Guntersville, AL; eighteen grandchildren and their spouses, Kira Johnson, Mara Johnson, Victoria Daniel-Berg, Jason (Sarah) Fizell, Amie (Tony) Richardson, Tom (Anjoli) Bender, Jennifer (Scott) Stafford, Eric Bender, Ryan Bender, Michelle (Jeff) Trent, Michael (Jen) Bender, Adam (Erica) Bender, Tara (Jacob) Domson, Jamie (Ben) Spreeman, Kyle Bender, Jeanne Cross, Ethan Cross; eleven great-grandchildren, Stephanie Berg, Astra Fizell, Geneva Fizell, Tristen Bender, Jack Trent, Dylan Trent, and Carter Trent, Carson Bender and Aubree Bender, Gavin Bender, and Alaina Spreeman.
