Mrs. Lula Mae McIntosh Price peacefully transitioned into eternal rest in her home surrounded by loved ones on February 20, 2024.

She was born on May 10,1932, in Elberton, GA. to the late Clarence and Lizzie (Rucker) McIntosh. She was preceded in death by six brothers, Mathew, L.H., James, Postel, Willie S., Tommie, two sisters, Lila and Mary.

Lula attended Mt. Hurd School in Hartwell County, GA and soon after, she relocated to High Point, NC. There, she met lifelong friends Etta (Price) Brannon, Carrie Lee (Roberts) Price, Willie Mae (Johnson) Ingram, Sarah Sanders, and special sister in-law, Margaret (Neely) Price. She also met and married the love of her life, Samuel Theodore Price Jr. (Bubba) on June 2, 1957. This union was blessed with four children, 7 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren who faithfully cared for their mother and Granny until her passing.

Lula was a dedicated, hardworking and loyal employee and her versatile skills were reflected in her extensive work history. She worked at the Anvil Brand Clothing Company for over 20 years, worked in the Nutrition Department at the Presbyterian Home Inc. and worked in the Dietary Department at High Point Regional Hospital until her retirement in 1990. After retirement “Granny” began to care for the children in her home.

Lula was an excellent cook and loved to cook for her family and friends. Playing ‘Spades” with her children, grandchildren and their friends was something she really loved to do. She would tell them, “I’m gonna to show you how to win”.

However, Lula’s absolute favorite, past time, was attending all kinds of sports competitions where she served as an active and energetic spectator for each of her children and grandchildren. Her support for them started from early recreational leagues and continued throughout their AAU, high school, college and coaching careers. You could always find her shouting from the stands or simply watching sporting events on TV from home.
