Dorothy "Polly" Ann Bramlett

Polly was born on October 20, 1927, in Marlin, Texas, to Vaulton and Bernice (Moore) Davis. A lifelong Texan, she spent her early years in Marlin, where she worked for the Marjorie Roger Law Firm and later served as a PBX operator for Southwestern Bell. Through her years of work and life experiences, Polly became part of the community she called home.

Polly was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Temple, where her faith remained an important part of her life. She treasured her family and the connections she shared with those closest to her. Reaching the remarkable age of 99, Polly leaves behind a family who will remember her and carry her memory forward for generations to come.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gaylon Bramlett, who passed away in 2006; her son, Michael Bramlett; her parents, Vaulton and Bernice Davis; and her brother, John Wallace Davis.

Survivors include her son, David Bramlett of Temple; her daughter-in-law, Susan Bramlett of Temple; her grandsons, Casey Bramlett and wife Brooke of Derby, Kansas, and Stephen Bramlett and wife Amy of Little River Academy, Texas; and seven great-grandchildren, Mackenzie, Carlee, Laina, Ivy, Barrett, Olivia, and Warren. Her family was blessed with many generations of memories, love, and shared history.
