Francis “Laurel” Pulsipher, 83, of Kennebunk,ME, formerly of Logandale NV, died Saturday evening, September 23, 2017 at his residence. He was born in Gunlock, UT on November 11, 1933, a son of Francis James and Lillian (Jones) Pulsipher. He grew up in Logandale, graduating from Moapa Valley High School.
