Billie Jo Pollock

BILLIE JO POLLOCK Billie Jo Pollock, of Las Vegas, passed away in the early morning hours of Friday, Jan. 6, 2012, after a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She had been comforted by family and was surrounded by numerous family members and close friends during her final days in the family home. She was born Nov. 28, 1962 in Las Vegas and attended Bonanza High School, graduating in 1981. She was preceded in death by her father, Lawrence Kenneth Dayton; her beloved mother, Sandra Lee Mitchell; and stepfather, William Mitchell. Billie Jo is survived by her daughter, Jessica Lee Pollock; her son, John Charles Pollock V; her former husband, John Charles Pollock IV; and her grandchildren, Beau Zachary Morrow and Scott Abrey Bradley. Those who called Billie Jo a friend, indeed had a friend forever. Although the youngest sister, she was a warrior and constant defender of her children, grandchildren, and two older sisters. In addition to Las Vegas, she has extended family in Fresno, Calif. and Salt Lake City. Services are private. As she wished, a family gathering including her family and close friends is to be scheduled to honor her memory.
