Louella Frances McNulty

It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of Louella “Frances” McNulty, age 89, on November 23, 2022, of Loris, South Carolina, formerly of Copperas Cove, Texas. She was born April 28, 1933 in Virginia.

In her early years Fran was a waitress, then a homemaker. Once, at the Three Chefs restaurant in Woodbridge, Virginia, a child asked her if she was “Aunt Jemima.” Mom loved the little ones. She also enjoyed sewing, reading books, baking and crocheting. She volunteered at Miss Jewell Elementary as a HOSTS member, reading with and educating students. She loved her time at First Baptist Church and often helped care for the babies in the baby room during church services. She belonged to the Ladies Group there and loved the many outings and activities they did with the church. She gained 2 best friends there, Pauline Wilkinson and Annette Stadler. We are grateful for their love and kindness to Mom.

Frances was preceded in death by her husband John McNulty (2012); children, Norma “Bunny” Maxey (2019), Gregory Miller (1985) and Linda Jean Miller (2016). She is survived by children James (Cyndi) French of Longs, SC; William French of Georgia; Glenda (Jim) Miller-Ryser of West Jordan, Utah; Mary (Colin) Griffin of Houston, Texas, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends.

A Visitation for Fran will be held Saturday, December 3, 2022 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Copperas Cove, 300 W Ave B, Copperas Cove, Texas, followed by a Funeral Service at 1:00 PM. An Interment will occur Monday, December 5, 2022 at 2:00 PM at Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery, 11463 State Highway 195, Killeen, Texas 76542.

We would also like to extend our appreciation and thanks to The Oaks Assisted Living Center of Loris, South Carolina, for their care for our Mom this past year. Although reluctant at first, Mother came to appreciate being cared for by the facility.

Memorial donations may be made to First Baptist Church of Copperas Cove, Texas in her name.
