Theodora Bulluck Wimberley (Teddy)

ROCKY MOUNT – Theodora Bulluck Wimberley (Teddy), age 89, passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Born in Edgecombe County, NC on October 20, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Jack Bennett Bulluck and Josephine Fannie Branch Bulluck. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Mary Jo Woodrum and her brother, George Bulluck.

A loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and special friend to many, Teddy was a ball of energy and always had a smile on her face. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Teddy was a long-time resident of Pine Knoll Shores, NC where she owned her own real estate firm. She was an active volunteer in the community, serving as an EMT and other roles with the Pine Knoll Shores Fire, EMS, and Police Departments beginning in 1981. The mayor of Pine Knoll Shores declared August 29, 2022, as Teddy Wimberley Day, when she received plaques and certificates of appreciation for 33 years of combined service to Pine Knoll Shores before moving to Rocky Mount.

Teddy was an active member of St Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Morehead City where she served various roles and spent many volunteer hours manning the church’s Thrift Shop. She loved painting, arts and crafts, and writing, publishing a children’s book entitled Whiz and Whirl.

Teddy is survived by her daughters, Pamela Shepherd and Laura Stofferson; her son, Addison Wimberley; her grandchildren, April Lipscomb, Joshua Shepherd, Becky Seibel, Katie Markloff, Eric Wicks, Piper Smith, Hunter Smith, and Jaden Easley; her great grandchildren, Archer Lipscomb, Logan Lipscomb, Quinn Shepherd, Lee Shepherd, Taylor Seibel, Brendan Seibel, Sophie Seibel, Brandt Seibel, Adeline Seibel, Jude Wicks, Olive Wicks, and Madeline Markloff; and several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
