TULLIER, PIERRE MARSHALL
Pierre Marshall Tullier, 64, of Stuart, Florida, on June 25, 2010 passed 
from this earthly life into the presence of our Lord. He was born in New 
Orleans in 1945 to Peter Tullier and Marjorie Shepard Tullier, and was 
raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. In early high school, his parents moved to 
Annapolis, Maryland, and he was appointed as a Page in the United States 
Senate. He graduated high school from the Capitol Page School in 
Washington, D.C. in 1963 and was presented his diploma by President John F. 
Kennedy in the Rose Garden. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from 
Georgetown University and a Masters degree in Operations Research from 
George Washington University.  Pierre worked for the Marine Corps in the 
Operation Research Department and later joined Dunn Capital Management, 
Inc., where he worked for 26 years before retiring as President of the 
company.  Pierre and his wife, Sandra, were actively involved in many 
Christian organizations, particularly focusing on work with foreign 
missions. Their home was always open to leaders and families of the 
organizations in which they were involved; these included serving on the 
Director's Development Board of Jesus Film, Campus Crusade and Global Hope 
Network International. He counted it a privilege to be involved in what 
God was doing around the world, often traveling on mission trips to such 
places as Bhutan, China, Afghanistan and Africa.  Closer to home, he was 
volunteer chaplain of the Martin County Correctional Institute, and he was 
also involved in weekly Bible studies. No matter where he went -- either 
traveling to distant countries or just down the street -- he carried at 
least one camera, but usually more. He loved capturing God's creation of 
both nature and people in photos. One of his favorite photography 
"subjects" was his family, especially his 10 grandchildren. To them, he 
was better known as "Poppy," who told "Benny the Bug" stories. He will 
always be remembered for his unconditional love, willingness to help, 
unwavering patience, sharp mind, and quick wit. But most of all, being an 
amazing example of our heavenly Father. He is survived by his adoring wife, 
Sandra, of 25 years, as well as his daughters, Madeleine Tullier, Danielle 
Tullier and husband, Matt Bushman, Shannon Hammond and husband, Fred, 
Alicia Collins and husband, Clark, and son Damien Tullier and wife Justine; 
brothers Martin and Shep, sisters Jeanne, Andree, Annette, Michelle, Denise 
Tullier-Holly of Hammond, Louisiana and Bernadette, and their families; 
numerous nieces and nephews; and grandchildren -- Elizabeth, Kaylin, 
Lindsay, Caroline, Conner, Julia, Faith, Gracen, MaeBelle and Matthew.  In 
lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Jesus Film Project (Campus 
Crusade) Orlando http://www.jesusfilm.org/aboutus/visiting or to Global 
Hope Network International (GHNI) http://globalhopenetwork.org/.

TULLIER, RUBY ELLEN JOHNSON
Mrs. Ruby Ellen "Ma T" Johnson Tullier, 66, danced in Heaven on Saturday, 
May 22, 2010. Before Jesus tapped her on the shoulder for the dance home, 
she was surrounded by family in prayer and blessed to be in the caring 
hands of Hospice of Baton Rouge. A resident of Bayou Sorrel and Gonzales, 
she grew up at Lee's Landing and was chosen in 1961 as The MS Ponchatoula 
Queen. With her loving husband at her side to the end, Ruby fought a long 
courageous battle against melanoma cancer. She donated her remains to 
science with the hope that doctors will find the cure to cancer. Ruby 
stood strong in God and was a loving, devoted wife, mother of seven, 
"Ma T" to 11, and true friend to all. Survived by husband, Hulin J. 
"Tookie" Tullier; four sons, Shane Castjohn Sr. and wife Sonja, Monte 
Castjohn and wife Stephanie, Casey Castjohn, and Marshal Budd and wife 
Jessica; two stepdaughters, Debra Delatte and husband David, and Michelle 
Gascon and husband Johnny; 11 grandchildren; best friend, Ms. Flo Aiken; 
and many loved ones. Preceded in death by parents, Elmer and Pearl 
Johnson; sister, Opal "Dink" Lavigne; and daughter, Cindy Castjohn Budd. 
A memorial service will be held at St. James Community Church, 39316 
Industrial Park, Paulina, Friday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m., followed by a pot 
luck dinner. For more information, call (225) 869-4120.
