There was nothing more important in life to LulaBelle than her family.
LulaBelle was a happy person with a big, infectious laugh. She was a hard worker, from hand milking cows before school to her work in her home, garden, and flowers. To LulaBelle, the most beautiful place on earth was her home in Williams.
LulaBelle loved playing games, word games, in particular, watching basketball, singing, and talking. She never met a stranger. She was a faithful servant of Jesus Christ and held to his principles of being a loving servant to her family and others. Her family will miss LulaBelle but are content knowing she is at peace resting with God.
