Hortense "Jessie" Bullins meant much to the Joyce/Lester and extended families. She will be greatly missed. She was a kind, humble woman who worked hard, loved her family, community, church and who offered hospitality in her home to everyone, and who through her smile and laughter in later years offered comfort to those that visited her in a different place. She always smiled and greeted those that came to her home or "room".
