Janice Mae James Bulla

Janice Mae James Bulla of Asheboro passed away early Saturday morning October 7, 2023 at Asheboro Health and Rehabilitation, formerly known as Woodland Hills.  She was born to Otha James and Emma Mabe on January 10, 1942.

Janice enjoyed watching races, going to the mountains, and listening to bluegrass music.  She was especially fond of shopping at Belk’s, and often reminisced about she and her mother riding the bus from Star to Asheboro in order to make their Sunday shopping trip.  She was also a big fan of Elvis Presley.  Though she was a quiet, reserved, private person; she was a very gentle, kind, and sweet soul who cared for her stepchildren.

Janice is survived by her stepdaughters Tammy Bulla Matthews, and Lori Bulla George (Chris). She was also survived by her grandchildren Amanda Phillips, Brittney George, Mallory George, Chloe' Bulla, Donna Bulla and 5 great grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents Otha and Emma, her husband Kenneth Reece Bulla, and her stepson Scott Bulla.

The family would like to give special thanks to Asheboro Health and Rehabilitation, formerly known as Woodland Hills.  The wonderful staff loved Janice, and often called her Mama or Nannie.  The family would also like to give special thanks to Randolph Hospice for their special care and attention.

Services for Janice will be at Pugh Funeral Home on October 10, 2023.  Visitation will begin at the Funeral Home at 10AM, and the chapel service will begin at 11AM.  A private burial will be held at a later time.
