Regina "Gina" H. Pullen

Born August 31, 1950, in Clifton Forge, Virginia, she was the fourth child born to Paulmer H. Hall and Ruby Lee Madison Hall. Gina graduated from Clifton Forge High School in 1969. She later moved to Newport News and, after marrying, attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk. She graduated from ODU Phi Beta Kappa, earning her Bachelor of Science degree.

Gina began her occupation in 1986 as a probation officer working for the state of Virginia’s Department of Juvenile Justice in Norfolk, VA. In 1999, she transferred to Williamsburg’s 9th District and served both as probation office and intake officer.

After 30 years of service, Gina retired from the Department of Juvenile Justice on March 1, 2015. While living in Newport News and working in the Juvenile Justice Department, Gina met William (Steve) Pullen. They married in 1974 and made a home together for 37 years, shared with their many beloved pets; Baboo, Faith, Garth, Bertha, Dollie and Boots.

Gina is preceded in rest by her beloved husband, William Steve; mother, Ruby; father, Paulmer; and brothers, Harrison and Douglas. Other dearly departed family members present to meet Gina on entry to Heaven included her loved brother-in-law, Terry Hall; and nephew-in-law, Jimmy L. Saunders, Jr.

Gina is survived by her sister, Shirley Hall; brother, Gary Hall (Valerie); niece, Anita Saunders; nephew, T.L. Hall; and nephew, Josh Hall (Sara). Other survivors include her great niece, Madison Saunders; great nephew, Sutton; and her good friends from the BBB’s and her precious cat, Boots.

As a steadfast advocate and passionate lover of animals, please offer support to the animals Gina loved so dearly by my making a donation to the ASPCA, or your local animal shelter, in lieu of memorial flowers.

A Memorial Service celebrating Gina's life will be held on Tuesday, March 19th, 2024 at 1:00PM at Parklawn Memorial Park Mausoleum, 2551 N. Armistead Ave. Hampton, Virginia.
