Frances Pullin Obituary
Born January 29, 1933, she grew up in the Center Community and was a member of Antioch Baptist Church. After graduation from Monticello High School, she attended Mississippi College and then worked as a bookkeeper in the Lawrence County Courthouse. There she met a young county agent, Ted Pullin, who became her husband and lifetime companion through 50 happy years of marriage.
She worked as a homemaker and full-time mom to Debbie McCollum of Clinton; Phillip Pullin of Sicklerville, N. J.; and Delena Rial of Brandon. She took great delight in her six grandchildren: Cole, Cassie and Courtney McCollum and Jack, Ben, and Reece Rial.
A member of Polkville Baptist Church, her chief goal in life was to live for Christ. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. (Pr. 31:28.)
She is survived by her brother, Lamon Thames of Baton Rouge, La. as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Laney and Elberta Thames, and sister Vela Grace Thames.

Frances was a part of our Sunday School Class throughout the years our children were growing up together in Oak Forest Church. I treasured her friendship and sweet Christian witness. She will be remembered with love.

Frances was a special person with a quiet way about her. Our children grew up together and Debbie was in my Debbie's wedding. She was in my Sunday Class and added so much to it. We will miss her even though I have not seen her for years. Our prayers are with you.
