FRANKLINTON, NC -- Lula Denton Bobbitt, age 100, of Franklinton, peacefully entered the gates of Heaven on March 29, 2025, because God needed another special angel to help care for all His adorable babies.

She was predeceased by her husband, Jeff Bobbitt in 1984 and 12 brothers and sisters, with the most recent in 2013 of Annie Morton, her cherished son-in-law, Tom Way, passed away in 2018.

She was an awesome Christian role model to all her family and countless others in Union View Baptist Church and the town of Franklinton which she loved dearly. Her passion was working in the nursery at church and helping to lay a Christian foundation for all the children.
