January 2, 1930 - June 28, 2025

Bulah Mary (Douglas) Lucas of Parkin, Arkansas departed this life on June 28, 2025 at the age of 95. She was born on January 2, 1930 to the late Charles Lindley Douglas and the late Della Mattie (Perigo) Douglas in Dover, Tennessee. She raised her children and spent most of her life in Parkin, Arkansas. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Parkin.

Bulah lived a long life full of love and family. She was a devoted homemaker.
