Julie Bullard Obituary

Julie and Selby Bullard Never to be forgotten In loving memory of Julie Bullard, Selby Bullard, Rosie, Buster and Lolly. Julie Attebury Newby Bullard, 65, daughter of Luther Buman Newby, Jr. and Meredith Purdue, and mother of Selby Ellen Bullard, was born in Amarillo, TX, on July 22, 1941, and passed on Sunday September 3, 2006, in Newry, ME. In her youth, Julie, whose father was a pilot for Pan American Airlines, lived in Hong Kong, attending K.G. V, Mexico City, London and other international cities and traveled the world with her parents and two younger sisters, Sol and Laura. She spent the majority of her adult life in California, residing in San Francisco for 25 years before moving to Newry, Maine in 2004. Julie had a passion for tea cups, a fine cake crumb, antiquing and her many beloved pets. She is appreciated for her charm as a hostess and made quite an impression on her international clientele with breakfast pajama parties at her two B&Bs, the Church St B&B in SF, CA and the Black Bear B&B in Newry, ME. Julie loved and raised four daughters and nine grandchildren, who called her "Dammy," and provided love and support to her four step-children. Selby E. Bullard, 30, daughter of Julie and Dennis Dean Bullard, was born in Lakeport, CA on June 21, 1976 and passed on Monday September 4, 2006, in Newry, ME. Selby spent her life in California until she followed Julie to Maine in 2004 with her two children, Leila Camille and Elliott Maxwell, now ages 11 and 9. Selby worked in both California and Maine selling fashionable eyewear for opticians. Her clients were amazed at her ability to always find just the right frame for their faces. In Maine, she began a new career in 2006 selling real estate. Selby was an adoring mother. She infused any gathering with fun and humor and had a tremendous lust for life. Julie and Selby are survived by their children/siblings, Leila and Elliott Magee Bullard, Georgia Trull, Brooke Bullard, Adrienne McNally, Dennine Bullard, Michele Ahl, Jason Bullard, Lynne Short and their families, including their grandchildren/nieces and nephews - 20 in all; Selby's father Dennis D. Bullard and paternal grandmother Ruth Bullard; Julie's sisters Laura Siklossy and Sol Rainbow; and many extended family members and loving friends as well as Magic (aka "Killer"), the cat. The family will host a celebration of Julie's and Selby's lives on Sat, Sept. 30, 2006, at Saint Gregory of NYSSA Episcopal Church, 500 De Haro St., SF, from 2 to 6 PM.
