Bessie, affectionately known as “Shuggie”, daughter of the late John and Lottie (Morris) Bullock was born on November 24th, 1937.

Bessie (Shuggie) was a long-time resident of the Piermont-Sparkill area.

Bessie worked as a Legal Secretary in the Rockland County District Attorney’s office for many years before entering into the private sector.

She spent numerous hours in assisting the architect with the construction of the Albert & Laurence Holland Fellowship Hall. She was very active in coordinating seminars with the Wellness program. She was a committed, dedicated Christian soul who loved her church and serving God.

She enjoyed and treasured her many friends at the Thorpe Senior Activity Center.
