Jeanette Mulholland

JEANETTE MULHOLLAND, of Apache Junction, Arizona, completed her journey of 92 years on November 29, 2024.

She was born to the late James and Nola Turner on March 7, 1932.

Jeanette had a happy life with her family and her husband, Melvin Mulholland. It was quite a journey from Chester, Illinois to Scottsdale, Arizona and then to Apache Junction, Arizona to build a new business, Mulholland Plumbing, Heating and Air Condition, and a new home with her husband. They worked until they both retired and were fortunate enough to be able to enjoy camping, fishing, hunting and traveling together. Her daughter Sherry Brown and grandson Adam Biermann took on the task of taking care of Mel until he passed away from throat cancer on January 23, 2016. They both continued to care for Jeanette until she passed.

She enjoyed watching her great grandchildren visiting and watching them play. She enjoyed playing the slot machines at the casinos, playing cards and doing puzzles together. The last few years she loved picking up feathers and sweeping leaves and eating ice cream on her patio. She was a big part of our lives and will be greatly missed.
