Dr. Mardis Oliver “Doc” Hulsey

His wife of 61 years, Norene Utley "Pete" Hulsey, and his brother, Herman A. Hulsey, preceded him in death. Survivors include sisters, Grace Blair Hulsey Bridges (William Floyd) of Coker and Elizabeth Hulsey Cox Hamilton of Northport; niece Cathy Cox Earnest (David) and great-niece Alisa Beth Earnest of Coker; daughter, Ann Hulsey Cobb (Jerry) of Peachtree City, Georgia; grandsons, Ross Hulsey Cobb of Miami, Florida, Thomas Dillon Cobb of Salem, Oregon and John Spencer Cobb currently on duty with the United States Air Force.

Dr. Hulsey graduated from Buhl High School in 1926 and began his studies at the University of Alabama, where he earned a degree in Trade and industrial Education in 1931. He taught at Gorgas High School in Tuscaloosa County for a short time, then he began his career in Trade and Industrial Education. His assignments included Anniston High School where he taught physics, drafting and adult workshops, and Paul Haynes Vocational School in Birmingham. From 1937 to 1960, he served as Assistant State Supervisor for Trade and Industrial Education for the Alabama Department of Education. In 1951, he served as Trades Education Specialist for the Brazilian Ministry of Education in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. From 1961 to 1964 he served as State Supervisor of Trade and Vocational Education for the Alabama Department of Education. In 1964, he entered the University of Alabama Graduate Program in the College of Education at the doctoral level. In 1965, he received the Ed D. Degree in Education.

Beginning in 1966, he was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Vocational, Industrial and Distributive Education at the University of Alabama. The permanent status of Professor Emeritus was awarded to him upon retirement in 1975.

"Doc" was a man with many interests. His love of photography, literature, electronics, and amateur radio (KA4TKV) inspired and encouraged many of us.

His interest in rural Alabama and its history coupled with his skill in relating it made many of his students and friends develop an appreciation for our region.

His love of scholarship and personal integrity, and his unassuming manner of teaching these qualities, in both classroom and personal example, always made more pleasant by his unmatched sense of humor, earned him a well-deserved professional reputation. His knowledge and style of sharing it with others encouraged effort and confidence, which will be missed.

Dr. Hulsey was a charter member of Epsilon Chapter of Iota Lambda Sigma, initiated in 1930 as a professional fraternity for Trade and Industrial Education. He was a member for 71 years. To honor his lifetime of contributions and service to Vocational Education in Alabama anyone wishing to participate in a Scholarship in Memory of Mardis Oliver and Norene Utley Hulsey may send contributions to Iota Lambda Sigma Scholarship Fund. Contact Paul Skidmore, attorney for Dr. Hulsey’s estate at P.O. Box 142, Tuscaloosa, AL 35403 or 205-344-4414 for details.
