Alma B. Hulsey

Alma B. Hulsey, age 96, of Tracy, California died Sunday, December 9, 2007 in Hughson, California.

Mrs. Hulsey was born November 14, 1911 in Dierks, Arkansas and lived near Wright City, Oklahoma. In 1950 she and her husband John moved to Cave Junction, Oregon where they raised their family. In 1997 she moved to Tracy, California to be with family.

Mrs. Hulsey was always ready for a fishing trip or a game of dice. She loved gardening and everyone enjoyed the beautiful flowers that she shared, as well as canned soups and vegetables. In her later years, she enjoyed a day at the casino, where she always seemed to have all of the family luck. She will be remembered as a very giving person, willing to share her home baked goodies and whatever she had.

She is survived by her children, Faye Bunch of Oakley, California; Norma Jean Arnold and her husband Bob of Tracy, California; Ruth Shutes of Bellingham, Washington; Dale Hulsey of Modesto, California and Scott Hulsey and his wife Suzy of Tracy, California; 11 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; and nine great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John; a son, Harel; and two great-grandchildren.
