Aleta L. Bullman

Aleta L. Bullman, age 60, of Butler, PA, passed away Thursday, October 11, 2012, at VNA Inpatient Hospice in Butler.

She was born in Butler on July 3, 1952, the daughter of Merle K. and Edmona (Trivett) Bullman.

Aleta lived in the Butler area all her life and was a member of the Christian Missionary Alliance Church. She belonged to Community Care Connections in Butler and while there she won numerous attendance and helping hand awards. Aleta had a penchant for adventure; whether it was visiting a new area alone or camping with her parents, traveling was one of her favorite pastimes. Other activities she enjoyed included grilling and eating, bowling with her friends in "the office", playing games and watching "I Love Lucy" and other old television shows on TV Land. She also was very crafty and loved to knit.

Aleta was known for her independence; she lived by herself and always made sure everything was done right. However, this did not take away from the love she had for her family and friends. They all knew of her caring nature, big heart and strong faith in Jesus. She was a caregiver to many family members, loved children and was always honest. Aleta's helpful and loving personality - along with her great sense of humor - will be remembered by all who knew her.

Her memory will be cherished by her brothers, Kenneth R. Bullman and wife, Patti, of Palmer, AK, Kevin W. Bullman and wife, Lynn, of Butler, Erin C. Bullman, of Kalispell, MT, and Jesse B. Bullman and wife, Sherry, of Cabot; and sisters, Merlene B. Bullman, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Candace A. Petri and husband, Douglas, of Gillette, WY, and Julie Ray Daugherty, of Butler.

Aleta was preceded in death by her parents and a nephew, Kirk Daugherty.

Relatives and friends may visit from 2-4 and 7-9 PM on Sunday, October 14, 2012, at the Bauer-Hillis Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 102 Argyle Street, Petrolia, PA.

Additional visitation will be from 10 AM until the time of funeral services at 11 AM on Monday, October 15, 2012 with the Rev. Jerry Carter, pastor of Slippery Rock Baptist Church, officiating.

Burial will be in Bear Creek Cemetery, Petrolia, Pennsylvania.
