ELKHART -- Josephine Pulliman, 80, of Elkhart, went to rest with the Lord at 12:20 p.m. Saturday, May 14, 2011.
She was born April 13, 1931, in Sikeston, Mo., to George L. and Odessa (Chandler) Forrest Sr. On Aug. 21, 1972, she married Lawrence Pulliman in St. Joseph, Mich. He preceded her in death Dec. 31, 1976.
