Leila Barber Sullivan departed this life on Feb. 1, 2018, leaving behind a legacy of love, compassion and service. She was the eighth child born of Frank and Sarah Ida Webb Barber on March 30, 1927. Losing her mother when she was only two years old she was raised by her Father in Hurricane, Utah.
Leila attended schools in Hurricane, graduating from Hurricane High School with lots of good memories and friends that she stayed close to through the years. She attended a year at Dixie College where she met Hal Sullivan from Leeds. They were married in the St. George LDS Temple on June 12, 1946. They were the parents of Clark, Jillyn, Joyce and Bruce, (Lori, stillborn).
Leila loved her family. She loved bringing them together with her love, lemon meringue pies, cakes (every Sunday evening), her potatoe salad, gummy bears and Swedish fish in the candy drawer. She remembered and acknowledged everyone’s birthday. I mean EVERYONE’S as in the whole town of St. George and beyond. She always had something to give, either food, money or advice and she couldn’t be refused. Her house was the softest place to land not only for her kids, but the grandkids and all their friends (well, actually, everyone was welcome).
She loved serving in the St. George Temple and working at the Market Basket, and Dixie College Bookstore which she did for 29 years and cherished the many friendships from these places. No matter the pain or circumstance, her day started with “…whom can I serve today?”. She loved her days of refurnishing furniture with Montrue. She always enjoyed a good book or an old movie but not until her scriptures were read and her journal entry done… but her true hobby was compassionate service. She carried that with her to The Meadows Assisted Living where she continued to love the staff and residents there.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings: brothers, Webb, Ralston, Keith, and Garth; sisters, LaRue Heaton, Ruth Cannon and Beulah Isom; her husband Hal, her daughter Lori, her son Clark, and her son-in-law Scott Wells. She is survived by Sheryl, daughter-in-law (Clark deceased), Jillyn Wells Reber (Randy), Joyce Webb (Jay), and Bruce (Gaye); 19 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
