"VERA MAE BULLO (1917 - 2010)
Vera Mae Bullo. 92, a former resident of the Blanchard-Edison area, passed away on Sunday, June 6, 2010 at United General Hospital in Sedro-Woolley.
She was born on July 18, 1917 in Edgerton, Alberta Canada to DW (Will) Alwood and Lerah (Hammock) Alwood. Vera moved to Washington at the age of seven. She graduated from high school in Aberdeen, and attended business school in Seattle.
On October 23, 1937 she was united in marriage to Walter Wayne Bullo in Mount Vernon, and made their home in the Blanchard and Edison area for over 50 years. They had three children, Judy, Larry and Randall.
Vera worked at Edison Elementary School as a secretary for over 20 years.
In 1989, Vera and Walter moved to Soap Lake, Washington, where they enjoyed their retirement in the warmer weather. In 2000 they moved to Marysville, then finally returning to the Skagit Valley in 2004 when Vera and Walter moved to Country Meadows Village in Sedro- Woolley. In 2007, they were blessed to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary.
Vera enjoyed crafts, travel, and fishing, but she enjoyed her friends the most! It seems as if, everywhere she went, she knew someone, their spouse or children! Her cheerful personality, smile and sense of adventure will be missed by all.
Vera is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Judy & Earl Lindstrom of Bow, and son and daughter-in-law Larry & Elizabeth Bullo of Concrete. Four grandchildren and their spouses, Sandie & Bill King of Tacoma, Bill & Janet Lindstrom of Burlington, Laura & Jason Wheeler of Oak Harbor and Mike Smith of Arlington.
