Family meant everything to Bulah. She found her greatest joy in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  Her love for them was unwavering. Whether it was offering wise words, a warm meal, or a comforting hug, she was the heart of the family — a steady, loving presence who made everyone feel cherished. Family gatherings were a tradition she held dear and meant more than most knew. She enjoyed the time she spent with her sisters and their families.

Bulah cherished the time and memories that she had with her children and grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. And hope the memories of maw maw and papaw will be remembered and shared for generations to come.

Bulah will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her strength, and the love she showed in her own special way. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched so deeply.  Bulah loved her Lord and savior and is now in His arms.
