Francine Gusler Pulliam, 82, went to be with her Lord and Savior at Gibson House on Thursday, March 20th.

A service to celebrate Francine’s life will be held at First Wesleyan Church on Sunday, March 23, 2025 at 2pm. Burial will follow at Ridgeview Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service, and the family will receive visitors at their home, 703 Red Clay Rd, Eden.

Born on August 28th, 1942, in Spray, North Carolina, Francine was a devoted member of First Wesleyan Church, where she served in various capacities throughout her life. Her love for children was evident as she taught Sunday School for over 65 years and supported numerous missions and child-focused organizations. Francine retired from Home Trust Bank after 45 years of dedicated service. Her greatest joy was her family, whom she cherished deeply.

She is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, Garland Pulliam; her son, Darrin Pulliam (Beth); and her grandson, Jordan Pulliam (Grace). She is also survived by her sister, Verona Gusler Gillespie; brothers, Darrel Gusler (Judi) and Dale Gusler (Sheryl); as well as several nephews. Francine was preceded in death by her parents, Page and Arlene Gusler.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Wesleyan Church, 607 Church St, Eden, NC 27288.
