Emma Lorene (Pullin) Chase 87Emma went to her heavenly home on Nov. 26, 2017. She was born in Young, AZ on Aug. 17, 1930 to Thomas Henry Pullin and Lillie Mae Saunders.

Emma grew up in the shadow of the Mogollion Rim being a rancher’s daughter. Her mother passed away when she was only seven years of age and left her in the care of her father and grandmother. On August 11, 1948 she married a cowboy (later turned artist), J.P. Kelley in Holbrook, AZ and had a daughter Karen. Living the nomadic lifestyle of a “Jack of All Trades” cowboy, Emma known as Rene, and later Lorie, owned and operated several businesses including cafes and motels.

Emma was a ranch wife but her primary career was bookkeeper. She and J.P. later divorced and a few years later she married Leland C. Chase on May 11, 1973. To her great delight she became a step mother and grandmother to Lee’s children and grandchildren. She now had the large family she had always wanted. Emma became the caregiver and support of Lee after a plane crash left him disabled. She took on the task gladly and was rewarded with many years of love and happiness, more grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Emma leaves behind her daughter Karen Pulis, granddaughter, Brenda Kelley-Brace, and grandson Colten Carnahan, daughter, Carolyn Smalley, sons, Stan and John Chases and their spouses, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and even great great grandchildren along with many nieces and nephews.
