Jolene Pollock

Jolene Pollock    
Panguitch, Utah

    Jolene Nelson Pollock slipped into the arms of her father in Heaven on the evening of June 17, 2023 in Hurricane.  She fought a valiant battle against cancer for 9 years.  Jolene was always a ray of sunshine, even as a small child.
    She was born on the 23 of June 1961 to William M. “Bill” and Bonnie Willes Nelson, in Panguitch and grew up in Cannonville.  She graduated from Bryce Valley High School in 1979.  She went on to complete an associates degree at Dixie State College in 1981.  
    She married the love of her life, Clint Larry Pollock on June 19, 1981 in the St. George Temple.  Over the years three children were welcomed into their family: Clint Stanley, Alesha Jo and Alana Mae. During the first years of their marriage they traveled for Clint’s job between North Dakota, the Kaibab and then made their home in Panguitch. 
    Jolene started her career working at IHC Garfield Memorial Hospital in 1988 where she devoted 35 years. She built everlasting relationships while interacting with the community.  She served her family, community and church in so many ways and was always looking for the next adventure. 
    Six wonderful grandchildren were added to their family: Chesney Jo and Chestyn Mark Tebbs, Tayleaha Mae Pollock, Harley Ann, Kayden Clint, and Stetson Stanley Pollock. 
    It was always a goal to build a second home in Washington County in preparation of their retirement, but as Jolene’s condition worsened, the home they built in  Hurricane made it easier for her family to come and assist with her care.  They enjoyed many happy memories with their family over the years.
    Jolene is survived by her loving husband, Clint; children: Clint Stanley (Le’Chelle) Pollock, Alesha Jo (Mark) Tebbs, and Alana Mae Pollock; six grandchildren; her mother, Bonnie Mae Nelson; in-laws, Stan and Anna Pollock; siblings: Jack (Gaye) Nelson, June Ann (Jim) Miller, Marie Alvey, and Mark (Machele) Nelson.
    She is preceded in death by her father, William Nelson; niece, Amber (Steve) Smith and their baby, Opal (great-niece); niece, Nicole Nelson and nephew, Tyler Chynoweth.
    Jolene’s vibrant personality will be missed by so many, in so many ways.  Her passion was her family, especially her children and grandchildren. 
    Funeral services will be held on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 12:00 Noon in the Panguitch 1st Ward Chapel, 550 South 100 West, where friends may call to visit with the family from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.  Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.  Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.  Online condolence www.maglebymortuary.com
