Phyllis Jean Bullock

Jean, as she was known to family and friends, was born Phyllis Jean Aston on November 1, 1939, in Kensington, Columbiana County, Ohio, to Charles Thomas Aston and Virginia May (Ewing) Aston. Jean later married John “Jack” Bullock on March 30, 1963. Jean Aston graduated from Carrolton High in 1957 and would later graduate with a bachelor's degree from Capital University. Jean would dabble in a wide variety of careers from working at Aston & Bullock Hardware, to designing and producing her own baskets, painting, gardening, real estate, insurance and working at Sears. Her greatest achievement was researching, compiling, and writing a book about the ancestors and descendants of Charles & Virgina Aston.

Jean was an enthusiastic fan of the Ohio State Buckeye basketball and football teams. For many years Jean was an avid golfer in several leagues and with husband and son. In her later years, Jean treasured the many hours she was able to spend with her grandson playing games, teaching him to draw and making him her special microwaved chicken nuggets.

Jean was preceded in death by beloved husband John “Jack” Bullock, her parents; her sister Wandalee (Aston) Brannon; and sadly, by many other Astons, Brannons and Bullocks who are waiting for her in Heaven.

Jean is survived by Adam and Kelly Bullock and her grandson Trevor Bullock; by Henry and Julie (Bullock) Boyd; by William and Nancy Aston as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

A graveside service will be held Friday, July 10, at 10:30 a.m. at Magnolia Cemetery, 404 North Weis Street, Magnolia, Ohio. Jean will be interned with her husband Jack.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration at www.aftd.org.
