Joleen Bean Stephenson passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on October 5, 2025. She was born April 29,1939, in Price, Utah.

She married Bill R Stephenson on March 15, 1965. They raised their blended family of 9 children together for 38 years before his passing.

She was loved dearly by 9 children, 15 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.

Mom's house was the place to meet for family barbecues, weddings, and holidays. She was always there to greet you with a smile and a big bear hug. She was a wonderful listener and was always available for a good cry or a good laugh.

She always claimed to dislike animals but whenever you came to her house she had a cat in her lap or a dog at her feet.

She had the biggest heart of anyone we've ever known and she will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by one son and three grandsons.

There will be a graveside service for the family.

Mom, You will forever be in our hearts.
