Alberta Jean Davis Dunlap 1918 ~ 2005 Alberta Jean Davis Dunlap, our dedicated, beloved mother, and grandmother passed away March 15, 2005. The determination and personal strength that sustained her through life's challenges were evident in her final hours. Jean was born December 7, 1918 in Provo, Utah to Margaret and Don Davis. She was educated at Provo High School graduating in 1937. She came from a family of eight children, a position in life that taught her the art of domesticity, for Jean was a consummate homemaker, and gardener. She could grow fruits and vegetables that even Martha Stewart would envy. She took great pride in caring for her family. They were her first and her last concern. She was unselfish to a fault, always putting other's needs and concerns before her own. Her special relationship with her son and granddaughter enriched their lives greatly. Her happiest moments were spent surrounded by her family. She married Melvin Dunlap in 1941. Theirs was an exemplary marriage that spanned more than 64 years. Together they made their son and his family their top priority. She is survived by her husband, Melvin R. Dunlap, their son Michael Reed, daughter-in-law Jane, cherished granddaughter Stephanie Marie, and sister Colleen Womack. The family will receive friends on Friday, March 18 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary at 3401 S. Highland Dr. Interment will be at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
