Helen Rae Pulliam

Helen Rae Pulliam, 64, of Salina, Kansas, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Friday, January 8th, 2016. Helen was born in Hutchinson, Kansas on July 27, 1951, a daughter of the late Vera Ann (Harrison) and Raymond Levi Pulliam. Survivors include her brothers, George Pulliam and wife Gloria, of Omaha, Nebraska, Christopher Hiebert, of Molino, Florida; and sister Ella Huff and husband Mark, of Mesquite, Texas. Helen leaves behind more then just family. She was loved by many in the community and known as the lady on the three wheeled red bike. She went everywhere on her bike and was very proud of it. Helen was a garage sale expert, often finding needed and useful items for friends. She loved children and was a patient and loving mentor and friend. Helen had a special relationship with her Godson Emmett Denton-DeVore. She won blue ribbons at the Tri Rivers Fair for her crocheted people, and could create crocheted animals, people, and other items by merely looking at a picture. Helen loved her church and was a faithful acolyte for many years, serving nearly every Sunday. In addition, she prayed for the people on the prayer list and called, visited them in the hospital, and followed up with them when they returned home. She never sought the limelight, but did the things in the background that made things go smoothly. At the family's request there will be no visitation as cremation has taken place. Memorial Services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, January 16th, at Church of the Incarnation, 639 Max Ave, Salina, Kansas, with Rev. Randy MacIntosh officiating. Memorial contributions may be made to Church of the Incarnation, in care of Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home, 500 S. Ohio, Salina, Kansas.
