“If I can help somebody, then my living will not be in vain.”
Mary Helen Bullock-Shuler was born on May 5, 1932 in Little Rock Arkansas to her parents Magdalene Holden – Gill and Will Bullock. Mary initially left Little Rock to pursue another life in New Jersey where she met her husband Alex Shuler. She then moved to New York City where they were married. When Alex lost his life in the line of duty, she remained in New York where she worked as a nurses aide, had 3 children, and a full life with family and close friends for 35 years.
Mary then returned to Little Rock where she went on to pursue her license from Children and Family Services at the University of Little Rock Arkansas. She then dedicated her home and life providing daycare and foster care services to all the neighborhood children.
Mary’s final journey landed her in Saint Louis, Missouri to reside with her sisters, her nieces, and nephews. She stayed in Saint Louis to enjoy the golden years of her life. Mary enjoyed church, cooking, and gardening, and was known for her easy going manner and her no nonsense attitude.
