Leatrice Joy Robinson was born January 19, 1934, and gained her heavenly reward on May 27th, 2025. She was the youngest child of four siblings born to Hattie Lee Holloway Robinson and James Robinson in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

Sister Bullock had a deep faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and was baptized at a young age at the Macedonia Baptist Church. Her passion for ministry and fulfilling God’s perfect will started early in her life. She was actively involved in teaching Sunday School, singing in the choir, working with the youth ministry, and taking on any tasks asked of her to help build God’s Kingdom.

Sister Bullock matriculated through the school system in Okmulgee, graduating from Dunbar High School. She then attended and graduated from Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri, where she majored in Education and received her teaching certification.

As a young educator, she worked in several school systems within the state of Oklahoma for many years. On a trip to visit her sister in Lincoln, Nebraska, a chance meeting resulted in her meeting the love of her life, Millard H. Bullock. The two were united in holy matrimony on Christmas Day in December of 1961. To this beautiful union, two children were born, Todd Alan and Sharilyn Elaine.

Throughout her teaching career, she worked as a Special Education teacher for students with special needs, and despite the many needs of the children, her passion for this work always led her to view them as capable. It was a joy for her to see students rise to greater heights despite their challenges. She instilled in all those she came into contact with her love for the importance of hard work, perseverance, and a caring spirit.

Her dedication extended beyond her profession, as she sought to support her church family through her love of Christ. As a member of the Mount Zion Baptist Church for over 50 years, she served in numerous ministries, serving as a role model for persons of all ages. She offered encouragement in both professional and spiritual areas of life to all she encountered. Sister Bullock was a gracious and impactful member, serving as a member of the mission circle, Sunday School superintendent, Deaconess, Mass Choir Member, and Co-Chairperson of the G.L. Collins Annual Scholarship Banquet.

Among other organizations, Sister Bullock served on numerous boards and committees, including Woman in Community Service (WIC), the NAACP, and as a charter member of the Lincoln Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
