She was born on May 2, 1929 to James Verl Hansen and Hilda Sullivan Hansen. She was raised and went to school in Preston, Idaho. She met Dick, a handsome soldier, after World War II, while sitting at a soda fountain. He came up behind her and said, "Talk to me baby." She married that handsome soldier, Richard (Dick) Tripp, on August 10, 1946. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan Utah temple in February of 1949. They moved to Ogden Utah where they had their two children, Richard and Jeaneen. LuJean had a testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ and served in many church callings in her various wards. Her career at IRS spanned over 20 years where she was widely respected and honored. After retirement, the two spent most of the summer at their cabin in Island Park Idaho, and most of their winter in Yuma Arizona. They had many great adventures together, rock hunting, elk hunting, and cruising to many faraway places, always by each other's side. She was a beautiful spunky redhead who loved to laugh and have fun. She loved playing with and caring for her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her favorite times were spent with family, her first priority. Her legacy of love and laughter will always continue on. She will be greatly missed by all. She is preceded in death by her husband Dick; her brothers; Arland, Duane, Melvin, DeMar, and Clair; and her two son-in-laws; Glen Melvin Warner and Tom Smith. She is survived by her children; Richard (Michel) and Jeaneen; her sisters; Hilda (Allan) and Helen; her brother, Jay (Gayle); 10 grandchildren; and 35 great-grandchildren.
