Sally Yvonne Lambert Tullis passed away Sat., January 24, 2015. Yvonne was born Sept. 9, 1931 to Marshall and Lois Lambert in Spearman, Texas and attended school in Aledo, graduating in 1949; she married Jerry Lee Tullis in 1951. Yvonne attended Weatherford Business College and worked downtown at the Ben Franklin store, Harry’s Café on York Ave., and the Texas State Agriculture office after finishing college. Yvonne’s husband, Jerry, attended WHS and then joined the U.S. Air Force to serve in WWII; as a teen, he worked as a projectionist for the Palace theater on the square and assisted in Ted Morrisson’s Radio & TV shop on York Ave next door to Harry’s café. It has been a family “love-story” tale of how York Avenue led to Jerry and Yvonne becoming acquainted and then marrying as a young couple.   Jerry and Yvonne joined North Side Baptist Church and enjoyed their cabin at Lake Weatherford for many years while raising three daughters. After being widowed in 1985, Yvonne began taking trips overseas with her relatives while also working in the fabric department at Walmart. She was a devoted wife and mother deeply committed to her family and community duties.   Mrs. Tullis was preceded in death by her husband Jerry Lee Tullis; parents, Marshall and Lois Lambert, brother, Bill Lambert, brothers-in-law, Calvin Lyon, and Ernie Tullis.
