Stella Pullen united in holy matrimony to the late William A. Pullen in 1959, to this union two children were born. The first born is the late Dennis Pullen, Sr and then Sheila (Marc) Lewis.
Stella Pullen worked at a laundry mat when she relocated to Indianapolis and then years later she became a licensed childcare worker. She loved watching kids. She had watched over a host of children before she had retired. She didn’t have a mean bone in her body, but she sure had a boomerang throw with a bedroom shoe. She threw that bedroom shoe at Donté and Tyrone for wrestling on her bed, over the TV remote. That was one thing she didn’t allow, was for the kids to be playing on her bed. That was a big no no! In her spare time, she loved baking and sewing. She would do anything to help you out with cooking and sewing or anything you needed help with. After she retired, she picked up the hobby of coloring and word search books.
