Jean Leslie McMullin, 70, our loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and best friend, passed away January 1, 2016. Jean was born October 24, 1945 in Nephi, Utah, the daughter of James Leslie and LaVerda Behunin Heath. Jean married Paul H. McMullin; later divorced.
Jean loved life, family, and helping others. She graduated from Trade Tech with a license in cosmetology but decided to pursue a new career in sales. Throughout her professional career she served as a sales representative for several different food brokers and was providing her expertise and knowledge to G&G Marketing before her passing. Her passions and contributions were many but she loved sewing quilts and donating her beautiful creations to Primary Children's Hospital. She loved to contribute to the Rescue Haven as it brought her joy to know she was helping single mothers and their children. Our lovely Jean cherished her family and friends, and always found happiness and hope, even in the hardest of situations. She always ensured that her children and family were taken care of even when that meant taking great care of the resting places of those she had lost. She was the most incredible friend, daughter, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, that anyone has known and she will be dearly missed.
