She was blessed in life to become a wife, homemaker, and mother to four daughters. In time she was given the added joys of watching her family grow with the addition of seven grandchildren, an amazing 20 great grandchildren and 12 great great grandchildren.
Bulah was active in the community helping with voter registration. She also enjoyed working to help with the softball team, she and Lonnie sponsored through C&S Clutch. When time allowed Bulah enjoyed putting her life time fishing license to good use, mowing her lawn (with a push mower) and during quieter times settling in to watch old westerns.
In a working career she was employed with the Memphis Casket making the rosettes that were sewn inside. She later secured a position working with Keithley Bakery where she remained until she stepped away from punching the clock to enjoy time with family and friends.
Bulah is preceded in death by her parents, husband, Lonnie Shannon, grandchild, Shawn Barnett and great grandchild, Tara Reynolds, brothers Travis Hamilton and Herbert Hamilton Jr.
