Mrs. Melba Henry Tullis
Melba Henry (Tullis) was born to Abbie Viola Goodrich and Albert Monroe (Bert) Henry.
One day in 1930 or 1931, Melba received a letter from Wesley Lamond Tullis who was on a mission for the LDS Church in Florida. She had never met him before, nor even heard of him.
Ross Merrell from Vernal was on a mission in Florida and had persuaded his companion to start writing to Melba. Enclosed in the letter was a snapshot of a handsome missionary sitting on his "stick grip." She was not altogether overwhelmed with this correspondence, since at the time she was infatuated with another young man.
However, that romance did not materialize; and when LaMond returned from his mission, after corresponding with him for about one and one-half years, she started going with him. They had lots of fun playing tennis, going to dances, going swimming, and many other places. He was the best dancer she had ever dated and was a handsome young man. After six months, they became engaged.
They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 22, 1933. He was working at Utah Woolen Mills as nightwatchman while he went to school. Melba continued her work at the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company.
She was a bookkeeper and secretary for many years and taught typing at Uintah High School.
Survivors are her husband of Vernal; six children, Floyd LaMond Tullis of Highland, Utah; Melba "Fae" Chapman of Granger, Utah; Terry A. Tullis of Vernal; Roger Carl Tullis, of Salt Lake City; Mrs. Charles (Laraine T.) Walker of Orem, Utah and Amber Tullis Huber of Vernal, Utah.
Melba Henry Tullis died July 22, 1980 of a prolonged illness in the Holy Cross Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah. A great loss has been felt by all who knew her and especially her family. She left a legacy for her husband and children which they will always remember and will be passed down for generations to come. Her children remember her as a loving mother, and her husband remembers her with love and respect.
We look forward very much to seeing her again.
