Willie Frank Hull

Obituary For Willie Frank Hull

Willie Frank was born in Leake County, the firstborn of six children born to Mr. Frank Hull and Mrs. Alberta Matin Hull-Moore. He attended the public schools of Leake County and later the schools of Attala.

Willie Frank joined the Galilee Missionary Baptist Church as a child and remained a member until he moved out of state. In 1963, he was united in holy matrimony to Miss L.V. Bentley. This union was blessed with one son, Joe. In 1968, he relocated to Blytville, Arkansas. While living in Arkansas, he worked as a fork-life driver for a warehouse company. He remained in Arkansas and continued this occupation until 1990 when he returned home to Kosciusko. Following his return to Kosciusko he suffered a disabling stroke and was never able to return to work. He did, however, begin attending church at Galilee M.B. Church once again and spent his days taking friends and neighbors to do their errands and keeping everyone laughing with his never-ending jokes and tall tales.

Willie Frank made friends easily because he was a very friendly person with a gigantic sense of humor. It was difficult for anyone to be mad with him because he kept everyone around him laughing all the time. He loved all people, but he simply adored his family. His nieces and nephews referred to him affectionately as "Mr. Frank" while his siblings had begun referring to him as "Rooster".

Willie Frank was preceded in death by his parents, his son Joe, his brothers David Eugene (James), and Leo, his sister Berta Mae (Sister) and his niece Alma Denice (Neicy).

Willie Frank is survived by siblings, Georgia Hull (William) Journey, Thomas (Ann) Hull and Jim (Lois) Hull; a daughter, Pamela; an uncle, J.D. Martin, an aunt, Louise Morris; nieces, Terri Journey, Erica Journey (Juan) Williams, Angela Johnson, Coretta Rena Wren, Toni (Willie) Lyons, Kayla Walker, Kennedy Boyd, Cassidy Hull, Alisha Foster, Aeliana Hull, and Journey Williams; nephews, Jim Davis Hull, II, Thomas (Jasmyne) Hull, Jr., Martin (Shameka) Journey, Jimmy Earl (E'Niece) Hull, Jaylen Hull, LaKendrick and Gerald Carter, Jaterrius, Caleb and Jahleel Lyons, Giovanni Dee Hull, Addyn, Landen, William Parker, and Jaiden Journey, Jamal and Dietrich Hull, Noah Williams, and Jaxson Kade Blair; and a host of cousins and friends.
