White The Fabulous Jill H. White left us suddenly on Sunday, June 5th. Everyone who knew her has lost a great deal, and she will be dearly missed. Jill Hughes White was born on April 1, 1954. She was preceded in death by her father, Norman J. Hughes, and her husband, Rulon A. White, whom she married on March 30, 1984. Jill is survived by her children, Amanda Conner, David Adam White, and Taylor White; her mother, Laurel F. Hughes; her siblings, Lane Hughes, Heidi Hughes-Meadows, Michael Hughes, and Katie Curtis; and by her loving and cherished companion, Randy Raymond. Jill will be remembered as a wonderful and loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She was known for her humor, her hats, her wit, and her warmth. With generosity, thoughtfulness, and kindness, she brought light and love to her family and friends and gave unselfishly to anyone in need. Jill loved to travel and was always up for a new adventure, be it across the world or in her own back yard. She was active in countless organizations and was always there to offer her time, abilities, and talents. She was a helper and a healer, whose open heart, outgoing nature, and overwhelming generosity touched all of us. We say goodbye to an amazing woman - we were blessed to have had her. A memorial service will be held in Jill's honor on Monday, June 13 at 11:00 AM at Red Butte Gardens. Following the service, there will be a luncheon to celebrate Jill. In honor of Jill and in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to The Hope Alliance at 2681 E. Parleys Way, Suite 100, SLC, UT 84109. Funeral directors: Lindquist's Bountiful Mortuary.
