Mrs. Bullock loved her Lord and Savior. She was a founding member of Brandon Baptist Church and prior to her going into Assisted Living, was an active member of her ladies Sunday School class. At Castlewood's Place she looked forward to their Sunday worship services.

The family would like to express our appreciation to Jean Hayes, Lavon Overby, Ron and Henrietta Clay and other friends and neighbors for their loving attention to Mrs. Ina.  They drove her to Dr. appointments, hair appointments, the grocery store, and to Church on many occasions before she entered Assisted Living.  They also took her out to eat and prepared meals for her.  We would also like to recognize and thank the staff at Castlewood’s Place, Lakeland Nursing and Rehab, Dr. Kim Tarver and Home Care Hospice for their loving and competent care of her during her illness.

Memorials may be made to Brandon Baptist Church or to the Alzheimer’s Association.
