Trula was a lifelong resident of Bluff City TN where she attended and graduated Bluff City High School with the class of 1966.
Trula was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She also embraced the role as “ Mamaw”, and had been perfecting her skill as a “great Mamaw” since 2019. Trula was the matriarch of the family and will be missed beyond measure.
She was a loyal and extremely hard working employee at Iodent, where she worked for many years. Trula retired from Home Shopping Network and was able to enjoy her time with family and friends, talking on the phone, traveling to several beaches, her grandson’s wedding, concerts, volunteering, loving on and serving others in the community, all while still managing to make her faith in Jesus Christ unshakable.
