Thelma Hullett was born in Devils Lake, N.D. on Sept. 1, 1924 and passed away to be with the Lord on Feb. 10, 2013 in Yelm, Wash.

Bunnie’s early childhood memories were filled with joyful days riding her horse “Red.” She met her husband Eugene Hullett in Macville, N.D. They settled down in Bigfork where they shared 50 wonderful years of marriage.

Bunnie worked several years at the Lake Cafe before becoming an owner. After selling the business she went on to work for the Bigfork School cafeteria for 18 years.

Upon retirement, Bunnie and Gene enjoyed fishing, camping, and golfing with family and friends. She spent many days in the kitchen teaching her grandchildren the art of cooking. Her bubbly spirit could fill any room. She was famous for her cinnamon rolls, lefse, and “Tom and Jerrys” on Christmas Eve.

After Gene’s passing, she moved to Yelm, Wash., where she became an active member of the Moose Lodge in Yelm.

Bunnie was preceded in death by Eugene, a daughter, Ellen, and grandson, Michael Dalager. She is survived by her daughter Sheri, [Tom Isom], Yelm, Wash., son, Steve Hullett, Bigfork, grandchildren, Michelle Dalager, Falon, Nev., Bobbie {Caleb} Ford, Apopka, Fla., Katy {Kurt} Adkins, Kalispell, six great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
