Ernestine Lynette Bullard, affectionately known as "Tudy Pig,'' was born on February 7, 1961 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to the late Kemp and Bernice Thompson Bullard. She slipped away from this earthly life on Saturday morning, May 14, 2022.

Ernestine attended the local schools of Winston-Salem Forsyth County and graduated from East Forsyth High School in 1979. She was a dedicated member of United Progressive Baptist Church. She was always a bright, warm, and kindhearted person. If you needed a helping hand with anything and you asked her, she'd be more than willing to help.

After school, Ernestine had many jobs; one of her favorites was a grocery store, "Joe's Fine Foods." Ernestine was also known for her famous homemade pizzas; they were too heavy to hold in your hand because of the toppings, you had to use a fork to eat it. A few years later she attended Forsyth Technical Community College where she received her CNA II License. Ernestine then chose her career and began working at the Oaks at Forsyth. She was always a dedicated, dependable and on-time worker. She made long-lasting friendships while working at the Oaks for 27 years.

Ernestine was preceded in death by both of her parents: Kemp and Bernice Bullard; grandmother, Laura Lee Currie Thompson; her baby sister, Sylvia Ann Jarrett, and her oldest son, Larry Darnell Bullard, Jr.

She leaves to cherish her memory, one son, Joshua Lindsay; one daughter, Jessica Lindsey (AJ); one loving granddaughter, Jesselle Lewis; one loving brother, William Bullard (Karen); one sister, Almeeka "Candy" Williams (Frank); a loving nephew, Tony Lynn Bullard; her lifelong friend, Larry Darnell Lindsay; several aunts and uncles; and a host of nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

Monday, May 23, 2022 at Roberts Funeral Service Chapel (Winston-Salem) with family moments of visitation beginning at 11:30 A.M. prior to the service.
