Jenny Dell George Harper

January 7, 1950 - March 14, 2026

Jenny Dell George Harper was born January 7, 1950, in Brigham City, UT to Odell and Violet Luella Higley George. She passed away peacefully on March 14, 2026, in Taylorsville, UT where she had been living with Alzheimers.

Jenny was a woman of genuine intentions characterized by her reliability, love, and thoughtfulness. She was a beacon of compassion in her community, living a life rich in service and care for others. Jenny married her beloved Gregory Neil Harper on June 10, 1968, and their marriage was solemnized in the Logan Temple on September 17, 1971. Mom loved the gospel, loved the knowledge of forever families and being with those she loved so much, especially "the kids" that brought effulgent joy but also concern. She also had a deep love for the Savior, singing the Sacrament Songs meant a lot to her.

Jenny spent her professional years as a registered nurse, making a significant impact in the emergency room at the Brigham City Hospital. The second half of her career was spent with the Bear River Health Dept. being a home health nurse.

Jenny's life was a testament to her unwavering dedication to the well-being of others. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in the Primary, Relief Society, Scouting, and as the Ward Choir Director. Jenny's love for nurturing extended into her hobbies as well. She derived enormous pleasure from planting flowers, sewing, and being a hostess who made sure everyone felt loved and cared for. An avid reader, she also had a passion for music, often filling her home with the beautiful melodies from her piano and her singing.

Born and raised in Brigham City, Jenny was a lifelong resident of Box Elder County. She attended Box Elder High School and Weber State College, where she earned her nursing degree. Her dedication to her profession took her to Peru with the Health Department, immunizing the local people, a service that spoke volumes about her kind, giving and non-judgmental nature. Despite her numerous accomplishments, what mattered most to Jenny was the care and love she would extend to others, making her a cherished member in her community.

Jenny is survived by her children: Heidi Hauck, Francey Thompson (Edgard Rojas), Heath Harper, Laura Eckerman (Steve), Mitchel Harper (Karlee) siblings: Cindy Burt (Jack), Charm Petersen (Roland), Jeff George; 10 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, son-in-law Darin Hauck and sister Leah Cook (Kelly Sr.).
