Bulena Carson, a radiant spirit born on January 5, 1933, in the heart of Oklahoma, left this world on December 14, 2024. Her legacy is one woven with love, laughter, and an unwavering dedication to her family, echoing through the laughter of those she touched and the warmth of the memories they hold dear.

In her lifetime, Bulena became a beacon of joy, known for her infectious sense of humor and a unique ability to illuminate even the darkest days. With every story shared—from her whimsical tales of childhood antics to the hilarious remarks she made that could spark laughter in any moment—she exemplified the beauty of joy found in the simplest of things. She was a master at bringing smiles and often said, “If it doesn’t make you laugh, what’s the point?” This philosophy colored her interactions, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her loved ones.

Bulena's love was deeply rooted in her relationships. She devoted herself fiercely to her family, nurturing their spirits and supporting them in every endeavor. As a mother to Belinda Harris, a grandmother to Bulena Wooden, Wayne Jackson, and Koko Jackson, and a great-grandmother to Davonne, Chantel, Dontrel, Wayne II, Shawnee, and Rayvonne, and great great grandmother to Khalia, Kyaire, Laurence-Micharl, her pride in them was boundless. Each relationship was a unique thread in the vibrant tapestry of her life, woven with care, generosity, and a sense of responsibility.

Her hobbies brought her an extraordinary joy; whether it was playing cards, taking leisurely walks, or caring for her beloved dog, each activity held a deeper meaning—a reflection of the joy she found in life's small pleasures. She embraced every moment not just for herself, but for the sake of those around her, sharing her time and laughter without reservation.

Bulena’s generous spirit transcended her family; she found fulfillment in giving to others, notably her support of the St. Joseph Children's Hospital. Her heart knew no bounds when it came to caring for those in need, a testament to her nurturing nature set against the landscape of her life.

Though Bulena's earthly journey has reached its conclusion, the memories she created and the love she shared will forever illuminate the paths of those who remain. She joins her beloved mother, Odessa Tucker, aunt, Hazel Wade, and brother, Kenneth Tucker, in eternal rest.

As her loved ones continue to reminisce about her remarkable life, they will carry forward her legacy of love and laughter, cherishing the lessons learned and the bonds forged through years of shared experiences. Bulena Carson will be deeply missed, yet her spirit will forever resonate in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
