It was a full house at Union Missionary Baptist Church in Wilmington. Family, friends and fellow deputies filed in silently in honor of Tarica Ann Pulliam... At Pulliam's funeral members of the sheriff's department wore black stripes over their badges to honor their fallen colleague. Several friends described Pulliam as a young mother who loved her life and had big plans for the future. "She always wanted to make people smile - she was just a loving person all around"...
