Patricia Joan “Patsy” Pullin
June 8, 1943 – June 15, 2018
It is with great sadness that the
family of Tribal Elder Patricia Joan
Pullin announces her passing on
June 15, 2018, in Carson City, Nev.
Patsy, to family and friends, was
born in Portland, Ore., on June 8,
1943, to Frank and Kathryn Har-
rison.
She won a losing battle with ovar-
ian cancer when she left us to be
with her husband of 51 years, Gene
Pullin.
The eldest of 10 children, she is
survived by her mother, Kathryn Harrison; sisters, Diane, Kathy
and Karen; and brothers, Roger, Raymond and David.
She was the loving mother of four children: Tommy, Tracy, Dean
and Kelly; and the proud grandmother of Rowan, Denver, Denver
Dean Jr., Patryk, Danaell, Olivia, Thomas, Jack and Steven. She
is also survived by her adored great-grandchildren Ashlynn and
Morgan Brown along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Denver “Gene” E.
Pullin; granddaughter, Micah Lynn Brown; father, Frank Harrison;
brothers, Tom and Frank Harrison; and sister, Jeanette Harrison.
She retired from the Social Services Department at Grand Ronde
and spent more than 25 years as a country-western musician. Patsy
loved music and her Native American heritage, and she championed
women’s rights.
Patsy was thoughtful and intelligent, and a dedicated family
member who you could always count on. She will be forever re-
membered.
Services will be held Saturday, July 21, at Autumn Funeral
Home, 1575 N. Lompa Lane, Carson City, Nev.
