Simmie Lee Gullette

Grubbs Family Mortuary sadly announces the passing of Mr. Simmie Gullette 90, of Clayton Alabama. Service's are entrusted to. Grubbs Family Mortuary. A Name You Can Trust And Stand On. When Only The Best Will Do! We ask That you please keep the Gullette Family in your prayers as they travel through this most difficult journey.

Simmie Gullette, who many affectionately loved

and knew was born on March 12th 1935, in Clayton

Alabama, to the late, Sim Gullette and Johnnie May

Gullette. Simmie as many of us knew him was a

force to be reckoned with. He was full of energy, a

hard worker, and a true lover of family and

community. Once you had one encounter with him

you would remember that you had been in contact

with “Mr Simmie.”

Simmie was reared in Clayton Alabama where he received some of

his secondary education, and then went on to Barbour County

training school. He made the decision early in life to move up North

where he began his employment with East Side Lighting Company

in Linden NJ. He went on to work with the company until the

company moved its operations to Spartanburg SC , there Simmie

remained until retirement. He soon after returned home to Alabama

to enjoy his latter years.

Simmie will be missed in his town and community of Clayton. He

will surely miss his second family at Shiloh Baptist Church where he

served as a faithful deacon, under the leadership of Rev. LR. Straw

for many years. Although his light was dimmed sooner than we

would want, the door will always remain open in the hearts of those

who loved him the most.

He leaves to cherish his memory, four daughters, Joan Diggs

(Arthur) of Eufaula Alabama,; Patrice Bembry of Clayton Alabama;

Katrina Carmon (Aquila) of Wilson, NC, Yolanda Gullette which

preceded him in death. Two sons, Charles Gullette of Miami Fl and

Timmie Bervard who also proceeded in death; six grandchildren,

four great grandkids, six sisters and four brothers. A host of other

relatives and friends.
