Jeanne Brock Pulliam passed away on December 24, 2024, in Rowlett, Texas.
Jeanne was born in Preston, Idaho, on September 13, 1950, to Richard Eitner and Lucille Merrill Brock. Her family moved to Salt Lake City when she was two years old. She would spend most of her life there, in later life moving to Texas to be close to family who lived there.
Growing up, Jeanne was noted for her talents playing piano, violin, and viola. She also played guitar, and is remembered for her love of music. Throughout her life, she enjoyed a number of creative arts, including beadworking, jewelry making, and crochet. She was happy when she could share her skills with others, whether making quilts with her father, or hats and socks for newborns. Jeanne cared deeply about animals, including dogs, cats, and birds that played in her yard.
Jeanne taught her children not to judge other people but to accept others for who they are. She was happy that her children each found their own path in life and she was proud of all of them.
Jeanne will be remembered by her children Tony (Darsie) Pulliam, Joel (Maya) Pulliam, Jake (Bethany) Pulliam, Ernest (Amanda) Pulliam, and Alexandra (Peter) Despain; 13 grandchildren; two great grandchildren; and her sister, Kristine (Gary) Sandquist and brother, Stephen (Irene) Brock. Two grandchildren preceded her in death.
Interment Larkin Sunset Gardens.
Guestbook/Condolences
I was so shocked to hear of Jeanne's passing. I wish to send my sympathy to all her family. Also I want them to know how much I loved her growing up. I remember being blown away when she performed a piano solo for Concerto Night with the school orchestra. And she excelled at the violin as well. I hope you all remember her talents, and love, and zest for life. She was so proud of her children. When I left Salt Lake City to attend college, I was only able to see her infrequently, I'm sorry to say. Please know our memories will be with me forever.
I always wished I could play the viola as wonderfully as she played all of her instruments. I always tried to be a good friend to her because she was just the best friend to me. When she moved to Texas I missed her, now I will always miss her. Love you always Jeanne, your friend Buffie
I was one of Jeanne friends
. I talked to her daily and loved her so much. She was a artist in everything she did. She was so proud of all her children and grandchildren. Always wishing them a happy and generous life. She didn't know what hate was, she was generous to a fault. The couple of weeks before her passing, she was at peace with herself, she was organizing her life and felt she finally had found herself. I am so proud of her and the many accomplishments she made.
I have fond memories of Jeanne with her violin walking to Bryant Jr High. She was a very sweet girl I hope she had a great life. I'm sorry we all didn't keep track of each other!
Though we parted years ago, I never really stopped loving her. I pray she is at peace.
