Mary Jay Bullock

She was born February 15, 1932 to the Reverend Donald and Mary McKee

Spencer in Canonsburg, Pa. She grew up in Pittsburgh until a family move to Chattanooga where she graduated from Chattanooga High School in 1949.

That fall she entered Maryville College which she loved and championed all her life. After a disastrous one year of high school teaching she went off to Western Michigan University to complete a BS in Occupational Therapy, her true calling. She met Bob Reynolds, her first husband, while training in a rehab hospital.

She began her OT career at a cerebral palsy clinic in Charleston, West

Virginia, and subsequently moved to the state rehabilitation center in

Institute WV. After Bob's death she moved to Columbia, Maryland, married

Donald Bullock and spent the remainder of her working years as Chief of Occupational Therapy at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. During this time she was made a Fellow of the American Occupational Therapy Association and mentored many young OTS who wrote her appreciative notes in the last year of her life.

Jay's interests included home remodeling, refinishing, reupholstering, caning, needlepointing, knitting, tooling leather and quilting. Everyone in the family has received her quilts. Her extensive nativity collection merited an article in USA TODAY, and she was a founding member of Friends of the Creche.

After lettering in every sport offered to women at Maryville and beating everyone on campus in Ping Pong she became a sports fan with particular fondness for the Orioles, the Ravens, Serena Williams and even the Buckeyes.

Jay is survived by her sisters Martha Rogers of WhiteBear Lake, Mn. and Nancy Hobe and husband Rich of Columbus, three step children, a niece and three nephews. She was a lifelong Presbyterian and her service will be at Broad Street Presbyterian Church On Wednesday May 4, at 1pm.
