Obituary of Elizabeth Ann Bullick

Elizabeth Ann Bullick

May 24, 1934 ~ February 25, 2026

Elizabeth Ann Bridge was born May 24, 1934, in the Talbot Store to Bertha (neé Bridge) Robinson and Burtrum Charles Robinson. As a baby she was happiest blowing bubbles so much so that she was nicknamed “Bubbles” as a young child, not realizing how significant this would be; as an adult not many knew her actual name as she was always known as Bubbles, which also suited her personality. She attended school at Talbot, enjoyed playing softball and later became big sister to Tom and Norma.

She married the love of her life, William Brewitt Bullick, on November 16, 1950, and they enjoyed an incredible 75 years together. To their union they had 6 children: Terry, Ron, Tim, Dan, Shelley, and Leanne. They have been blessed with 11 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

They raised their family on the Bullick homestead. Milking cows and selling eggs were how they paid their weekly grocery bill. They kept the family busy on the farm and began breeding Charolais cattle, which developed into importing animals from France and exporting to Mexico and Korea. In 1968, after all this hard work it was decided to name the homestead Prairie Cove Farm.

In 1962, Bubbles and Sadie Caseley started the Sunshine Club as a way of getting out of the house to visit with other ladies. (Considering she literally had 3 boys and husband at home) This turned into a prominent club that donated funds to charities/clubs in the Coronation area by catering to many weddings, curling banquets and funeral lunches.

Many Sundays in the summer were spent at Cap Eyre Lake with the Lenton’s, Gillard’s, Waltham’s and Provo’s. Later, they purchased a holiday trailer and spent time at Czar Lake. In the mid 1980’s, they purchased a motorhome and began travelling to Arizona in the winter with the Lenton’s for the next 20+ years. When they were done with Arizona, they travelled with family to Cuba, Cancun, Dominican, and Ontario.

Summertime was full of gardening. Many hours were spent in the large raspberry patch, and she loved to pick saskatoons in the coulees. She never seemed too tired to chase cows or fix fence. (Seems a bit crazy).  In 1990, came a big move when they settled into town. The garden was her pride, as she had every windowsill lined with tomato seeds in February so they could enjoy them sooner.  Along with the garden were flowerbeds of Geraniums, Petunias, Snap Dragons and beautiful yellow Begonias on her deck.

Bubbles was also a quilter. She made quilts for all the grandchildren when they were born and then another one when they became adults. Croqueting took up a lot of her evenings, when she wasn’t at a meeting. Volunteering was a big part of her life. Besides the Sunshine Club, she was a part of Coronation Ag Society, Coronation Museum, Cemetery Committee, and Senior Housing Committee.

Curling Bonspiels were also something that she really enjoyed. Probably not so much the actual curling but more the fun that was had in between games. Looking for more to fill their time, Bill and Bubbles took up golf which they both enjoyed very much. They would go on 5 day camping tours with close friends around Central AB to different courses in the spring and fall.

Family was most important to her. She was always there supporting us in whatever we did. From watching baseball and hockey games, dance, 4-H show and sales, birthday parties. She was there for it all.

Christmas Eve was one of her most cherished times of the year as she started hosting in the late 70’s. She cooked a full turkey dinner for everyone in their home and continued to do so with some help until 8-10 years ago. There were just getting to be too many of us!

Tim and Wanda started an annual golf tournament and campout in 2007, and it was a highlight for the summer. Lots of fun, games and beverages were had with a little golf. It has only been the last few years she did not attend.

Most recently she found enjoyment from hearing about all the kids and grandkids. What they were doing and seeing pictures of the little ones.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband of seventy-five years, Bill Bullick; children: Ron (Deb) Bullick, daughter-in-law Wanda Bullick, Dan Bullick, Shelley (Randy) Lundy and Leanne (Al) Rempel; grandchildren: Jaimie (Grant) Wahl, Lindsay (Walter) Corey, Jeff (Katie) Bullick, Amanda (Jody) Bridges, Tyler (Justine) Bullick, Tanisha Bullick, Miles (Jen) Golby, Bailey (Jeff) Hamm; Derek (Chris) Joy, Randi (Mike) Sadoway, Ethan Rempel; great grandchildren: Taryn, Aurora, Avianna, Kade, Lily, Claire, Indy, Scarlet, Malia, Kyler, Layton, Beau and William; sister Norma Robinson and brother Tom (Lynn) Robinson; other relatives and many dear friends.

She is predeceased by son Terry Bullick in 1956 and son Tim Bullick in 2023 and brother Stan Bridge.
