Jeanne Bullcok
Jeanne Yuhas Bullock
12/4/1950- 4/16/2022
On April 16,2022 the world lost a kind and gentle soul. Jeanne’s valiant fight with pancreatic cancer ended at home surround by loving family. We will miss her bright smile and her big heart.
Our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, cousin and friend Jeanne Yuhas Bullock was born December 4, 1950 in Midvale, UT to Joseph and Betty Yuhas. Jeanne grew up in the middle of two brothers, Bruce and John. Being the only girl, she was a real sparkle in her parents’ eyes. She attended Hillcrest High School where she was a member of the drill team and choir. She was a very talented pianist.
On March 30,1968 Jeanne married the love of her life Ronald Lee Bullock. They had four beautiful children. She worked in the airline industry for Western, Eastern and Continental.
After Ron passed away in 1994, she changed career paths and became a building inspector and what an inspector she was! Jeanne’s Hungarian blood ran deep. She was a strong willed and often stubborn as she helped forge the path for women in the industry. Everything she did was with a heart of gold and pure integrity.
She moved to St. George with her father Joe, who had lived with her since Ron’s passing. She continued her career as a building inspector at St. George City and Washington City gaining many friendships along the way. A month after her retirement she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She took the bull by the horns and fought one hell of a fight for almost 7 years!
Jeanne’s greatest joy was her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She cherished every moment; whether it was attending their events or laughing over face time with them. She was intimately involved with every aspect of their lives, and making each of them feel very special and loved.
Jeanne was an avid sports fan, often scouting the opposing teams and always cheering on her “kids”. She was a loyal Utes fan and rarely missed a game. She loved drinking 7-up and serving in her many church callings. She had a deep and unwavering love for Christ; and always tried to make her little part of the world better. One of her favorite phrases was. “Just keep swimming!”
Jeanne is survived by her children Jason (Kellie), Jeremy (Heidi), Jesse (Ethel), and Jenny (Andy), many grandkids, and great grand kids, brother Bruce Yuhas (Karla). She is proceeded in death by her husband Ron, parents Joe and Betty and her brother John.
She requested two celebrations of life, one in St. George on Saturday, April 30th at 11:00 a.m. at ward house located at 1222 East Brigham Rd. in St. George. The other one will take place on Saturday July 16th in Midvale UT. Details to follow

Our families were very close growing up. She was a life long friend and will greatly be missed. RIP, Jeanne.

I always admired Jeanne; she was so talented and bright and I regret that I didn't get to know her better. I notice that she did become active on the class website and posted several kind and compassionate comments. I remember what an "item" she and Ron were in high school and I hope they are rejoicing together again.

This news makes me very sad. I always cherished my friendship with Jeanne. She was always so sweet and kind to everyone. I can only imagine the pain her family must feel at her passing. But what a wonderful reunion with her husband and loved ones beyond the veil.

I too was saddened to hear about Jeanne's passing. We were neighborhood friends. She was always cheerful and kind--always fun to be around.

Like almost every other dude in 7th grade Midvale Jr High French Class, I had a big CRUSH on Jeanne. But alas, crushes at 13 are always tragic, as Jeanne's crush was my good bud Larry Erickson! She wanted to know his favorite color and his birthday...which I made up just to talk to her. Not only was she super cute, but she was the 2nd smartest in French (after Glenn Stohel IMO at the time.) She told me "Yuhas" (some spell it "Juhas") means "Shepherd" in Hungarian.
Thirty six years later, we reconnected before the 40th Reunion & I tease her about her "Larry" moving on, heh-heh..she's a hotshot building inspector in St George and every time I replace any appliance (or my deck) in Denver, she insists I "pull a permit" for safety...and I almost always did.
Jeanne's got grandkids in Canada, who built a hockey rink in their backyard, so Jeanne was a big hockey fan...so when I bragged my grandson showed me how to "pirate" Colorado Avalanche games on the Internet, she humbled me by saying she'd been "pirating" U of U & Boston Bruins games for years! Yup, Jeanne was quite the iPhone techie...
I'm gonna miss her wicked "wit" the most. RIP pretty lady...

Jeanne was a wonderful person and always friendly and upbeat. She was also very beautiful but never let that get in her way. While I didn't know her well, I knew her enough to say hi and chat a bit. She always had that great smile! After high school I talked with her a few times with Leslee Hintze (Wilson) who knew her better than I did. Somehow, Jeanne made me feel as if I'd been friends with her for a long time. That's a special quality I'll never forget.
