Harold "Craig" Pullen, age 82, of Wadsworth, Ohio, passed away on October 3, 2025.

Craig was born in Akron, Ohio, to Harold and Mary Eleanor Pullen. He was a proud graduate of Buchtel High School in Akron. Craig later met and married the love of his life, Nancy (née Promey), and together they built a wonderful family filled with love, laughter, and cherished traditions.

He dedicated 26 years of service to his community as an insurance agent with Prudential Insurance Company. Beyond his career, Craig's greatest joy was spending time with Nancy, their children, and grandchildren. Family was at the heart of everything he did-whether gathering around campfires at home, traveling together (especially out west), or supporting his son's journey in the Boy Scouts. Craig also had a special fondness for the golden retrievers who were his loyal companions throughout the years.

Left to cherish his memory are his devoted wife of 53 years, Nancy; his loving children, Amy Pullen (Brian Joreski), Julie Boggs (Josh), and Dan Pullen (Tracie); beloved grandchildren, Cody LaMonica, Ben, Bryce, and Lily Boggs, Andrew and Samantha Pullen; and his sister, Luise Knutsen. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother-in-law, Gordon Knutsen.

A family celebration of Craig's life will be held at a later date.
