Jamie Pullyard
CHINA – Jamie Pullyard, 58, of China, passed away on Oct. 20, 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of stories, laughter, and perhaps a few too many “great deals” that no one could ever quite top.
Born on March 1, 1967, to Keith and Beatrice (Corson) Pullyard, Jamie perfected the art of the bargain early in life – and never met a car salesman he couldn’t outwit.
He shared many happy years with his wife, Mary, who tolerated (and occasionally joined in) his endless antiquing adventures. Together, they built a home full of love, laughter, and an impressive assortment of “vintage treasures” that might still be hiding price tags. Jamie’s hobbies included fishing, spending time with his family, and doting on his three loyal canine companions – Ferg, Wednesday, and Beau – who were sure they were people and were probably right.
He was predeceased by his parents, Keith and Beatrice, who surely greeted him with open arms and maybe a yard sale table in Heaven. He is survived by his wife, Mary; brother, Gary Bailey and wife Cheryl from Canaan, brother, Dana Bailey and his wife Charlene from Lancaster, N.H., brother, Terry Bailey and fiancé Donna from Goffstown, N.H., brother, Meldon Bailey and companion Pauline from Clinton; three daughters, Ashley Walker and husband David from China; Jessica Mitchell and husband Ryan of China and their five boys, Xavier, Jamison, Lincoln, Jackson, Rowan; Sierra Charest and his grandson, Maxim, of Auburn.
Jamie will be remembered for his wit, warmth, and uncanny ability to make any outing into an adventure (and a negotiation). His laughter, big heart, and endless search for “just one more deal” will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests you honor Jamie by finding a good bargain – or better yet, out-negotiating a salesman – and thinking of him when you do.
