LA PORTE CITY – Ermajean Bullis, 92, of Waterloo, passed away Tuesday, September 7, 2021 in her home at Rosewood Estate of Friendship Village.

Ermajean was born February 6, 1929 in St. Ansgar, Iowa to Charles and Laura (nee Nelson) Libersky. She grew up in St. Ansgar, and graduated from St. Ansgar High School in 1947.

Ermajean worked at the Charles City Bank and Schukei Chevrolet as a bookkeeper after graduation. She married Reginald (Reg) L. Bullis on June 20, 1948 at the St. Ansgar Lutheran Church.
