Ellen Pulley, daughter of the late Green and Charity Davis was

born on February 8, 1933 and Blackstock, South Carolina. She

departed this life on January 17,2019.

Ellen's family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland when she was

just 3 years old. She received her education in the Baltimore

City School System, where she later became an educator for

that same system. Ellen retired after 31 years of service at one

school, Commodore John Rogers School #27, where her stu-

dents and colleagues adored "Ms. Pulley". Praising and wor-

shiping the Lord became priority when she gave her life to

Christ in 2004.

Ms. Pulley was very passionate about her job and students; one

of her hobbies was sharing the many photos she had taken of

her students over the years. She also loved to go to the mall and

to the casino, stating that she did not like the Horseshoe Casi-

no. Ellen said it was "ghetto down there" she preferred the Live

Casino. Last but not least engaging in a telephone conversation

everyday with her sister Joeller was something she looked

forward to, discussing soap operas and everything else.

Down-to-earth, outspoken, real and funny are just a few words

to describe Ellen. She loved to make others laugh. Being in her

company was an honor and a privilege. Above all she valued

her family and enjoyed celebrations and gatherings. She will

truly be missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

Ellen was preceded in death by her children, Anthony, Debbie

and William Pulley Jr.

She leaves to cherish her memory: her husband of 63 years,

William Pulley; three children, Antonet Pulley, Charity Davis

and Dexter Pulley; one sister, Joeller Thorton; one son-in-law,

Charlie Davis; one brother-in-law, Alvin Thornton; five grand-

children, Billequa, Salina, Syreeta, Victor and William; six

great-grandchildren, Adrian, Adriana, Deja, London, Richard

and Tyrin and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
