Edith McLean Hitchens passed away peacefully surrounded by family on February 26, 2015.
She was born January 1, 1929 on a farm near College Ward, the sixth of seven children of Joseph Elmer McLean and Jennie Ray Durrant McLean.
At age seven, her family moved to a farm near Heyburn, Idaho, where she grew up. After graduating from high school, Edith attended cosmetology school, attended college, and worked in Salt Lake City.
Edith met and married James Willard Hitchens on July 13, 1951 in Logan. Together, they had five children.
Edith was an accomplished seamstress, avid gardener, and skilled crafter and decorator.
She volunteered throughout her life as a Cub Scout Den Mother, with the American Red Cross, and for many years with the Utah Scottish Association.
For many years, she was devoted to the Hitchens rental business - she designed floor plans, made décor decisions, helped with repairs, and maintained the financial records.
Edith is survived by her husband, James; four children, Ronald A. (Karen Lim) Hitchens, Jeanine (Scott) Wilson, Joseph K. (Christi Carpenter) Hitchens, and Lorena Hitchens; five granddaughters; four great-granddaughters; sisters, Barta Walker and Neta Fenstermaker; and brother, Clyde McLean. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Agnes McLean and Fern Giles; brother, Leon McLean; and her son, Brent Lynn Hitchens.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary in Bountiful on Saturday, April 11, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Brief graveside services and interment will be held from 12:30-1:00 p.m. in the Bountifull Memorial Park, followed by an open house at the home of Jeanine Wilson.
