Leave a tribute for Shelba “Jean” Condrey Mull.
Jean was so special to all of us Huffmans. She brightened each day she worked with us at Time Saver Market. I am sorry to hear of her passing. I enjoyed visiting with her a good while back and just thought I would have that opportunity to visit again. But, not now, just a sweeter time to meet again in Heaven. Love and prayers for all her precious family. Guinn Huffman (Jack)
