Audeen LaFern "Fern" Hawkins Brewer Bulls
February 3, 1930 - February 19, 2015
Funeral services for Fern Bulls, 85, of Lubbock, will be at 2:00 PM, Monday, February 23, 2015 in the Wheeler Mortuary Chapel with Randall King and Kenny Venable officiating. Burial will follow in the Portales Cemetery with Steve Arnold, Bradley Arnold, Bryan Williams, Nathan Williams, Jeffery Brewer, Blaine Brewer, Will Brewer and Jackson Seal serving as pallbearers. Audeen LaFern Bulls, known to family and friends as "Fern" was born February 3, 1930 in Merkel, Texas to the home of Bernice and Isaac Hawkins and died February 19, 2015 in Lubbock. Mrs. Bulls grew up in Sudan, where she graduated from high school in 1946. She went on to study nursing in Muleshoe and became a Licensed Vocational Nurse. In 1972, she earned her RN from the nursing school at Methodist Hospital in Lubbock. She worked as a nurse at Methodist Hospital for a number of years and also did private nursing duty. There was one two year stretch when she never had a single night off. On October 9, 1948 she was married to Hanford Brewer. The couple had five children before divorcing. On January 17, 1974, she married Jim Bulls and they made their home in Portales. For a short time after moving to Portals, she worked as Director of Nurses at a rest home in Clovis. She began working in the Student Health Center at Eastern New Mexico University in the mid 1970s and retired in 1991. She continued to live in Portales until 2001, when she moved back to Lubbock to be near her daughters. Mrs. Bulls had a passion for learning and was an avid reader. For many years, she took a class every semester at ENMU until well into her 70's. Fern loved science and math, particularly Chemistry. She had even developed a board game based on the periodic table of elements, but it was too complicated to ever market. Mrs. Bulls was a faithful Christian and a member of the Primitive Baptist Church. She is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Sue Brewer of Manchester, NH; two daughters, Brenda Williams and Sondra Arnold, both of Lubbock; seven grandsons, Steve and Bradley Arnold, Bryan and Nathan Williams and Jeffery, Blaine and Will Brewer; two great-granddaughters, Bethany and Kayla Arnold; a brother, Wayne Hawkins of Achille, OK; and four sisters, Linda Hawkins of Sudan, TX, Joan McPherson of Plano, TX, Lora Shank of Lubbock and Lola Merrick of Brownwood, TX. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Rex and Odus Hawkins; a sister, Josephine Sadler; an infant son, Terry Dean Brewer; a daughter, Bonnie Sue Brewer who died in 2010 and by her husband, Jim Bulls who died in 1990.
