ROCKY MOUNT – Mitzi Moore Tulloss, age 76, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. A life-long Rocky Mount resident, she was born in Nash County, NC on November 9, 1946, to the late Albert Theodore Moore and Margaret Davis Moore.
Mitzi was a longtime member of First Baptist Church and a teaching leader with Bible Study Fellowship. She loved getting to know people, talking with everyone, and most of all, loved to laugh. Mitzi’s favorite flowers were the blossoms of a magnolia tree, and when she found a perfect bloom, she was known to enlist the help of her daughter and her daughter’s friends to cut them.
Mitzi is survived by her husband of 54 years, Fred Tulloss, her daughter, Sarah Margaret Tulloss of New York, NY; and her sister, Jo Ann Mangum.
A Celebration of Mitzi’s Life will be held on Friday, March 10, 2023, at 12:00 PM at First Baptist Church, 200 South Church Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27804 with Rev. Bill Grisham officiating. The family will receive friends and relatives on Thursday, March 9, 2023, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home.
A Private Family Burial will take place at Pineview Cemetery.

Don’t have any memories of Mitzi but I am so sorry to hear of her passing and am sending my condolences to Fred and her daughter. I have always heard good things about Mitzi. So sorry Fred.
We are thinking of you and love you very much. Remembering Mitzi with our warmest condolences,
Mitzi was an amazing “preacheress” for Bible Study Fellowship. I looked forward to her teaching us Bible knowledge. She had the best laugh! She knew God’s word and lived for Him. She was a role model for so many women. She probably had no idea how much her words and deeds meant to me. Mitzi will be missed but she’s with our Lord now and she’s pain free. Much love to Fred and her family❤️
So very sorry ❤️
So sorry Fred ,prayers for you and family.
Such a sweet and loving person through many many years!
So sorry for your loss.

BEST mentor and friend! Mitzi, you had a unique way to use illustrations and applications from God’s word each week at BSF. No matter the circumstances of life, Mitzi you kept on teaching and shepherding each of us as we learned from God’s Word and your example:) I am honored and thank God you were my teaching leader through the difficult times of raising small children, caring for sick parents, and learning to shepherd adults and children…..Praying for you Fred and Sarah Margaret 🙏❤

I have not seen my friend since we graduated from high school… but those memories will always be a special part of my life. Riding around in the Goodie shop in Gail’s convertible with our hair in rollers.. horrors! But Patricia, Kay, Betsy, and Mitzi won’t forget those fabulous rides either. RIP my friend…. You are unforgettable❤️

My life is so much richer for having known her! I learned & grew SO MUCH under her leadership at BSF! She was an amazing mentor who God used in my life to deepen my love for the Word & for the Lord… and deepened my desire to live a life surrendered & poured out in obedience unto the Lord!! I loved her… am so

Mitzi was adored by everyone who knew her. She was my Bible Study Fellowship Teacher for 7 years. She taught me so much. She delved into Gods word each week, and incorporated practical examples into her teaching. I will be grateful to her and love her until we meet again. How wonderful she now has on her white robe of righteousness!!!! “Well done, good and faithful servant!” With dearest love , Pat Dennis Taylor
So sorry for your loss Fred may you have peace of mind and fond memories of your wonderful “Mitzi”
