The Star Democrat, (Easton, MD) - February 1, 2012

Centreville Memorial services for the two victims of a Jan. 28 fatal accident near Crumpton will begin at the same time on Friday, one in Greensboro and the other in Chestertown.

Services for Megan Taylor Pulleyn, 26, of Millington, will begin at 11 a.m. at the New Life Wesleyan Church, 13699 Greensboro Road, Greensboro. Those for Thomas Andrew Gustafson, 57, of Chestertown, to be held at Fellows, Helfenbein & Newnam Funeral Home at 130 Speer Road, Chestertown, will also start at 11 a.m. Friday. Visitation for Gustafson will take place at the same location from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Following services for Pulleyn on Friday, a luncheon and fellowship will be held at the Goldsboro Fire Hall at 700 Old Line Road.

Pulleyn and Gustafson died in an accident that took place on state Route 544, west of Route 290 at about 7 a.m. Jan. 28. Pulleyn had exited her 2007 Toyota Camry to assist Gustafson after hitting him as he stood on or was walking across Route 544, police said. They were then both hit by a 2011 Jeep Compass traveling east on Route 544, according to police. Pulleyn was pronounced dead at the scene. Gustafson was flown from the scene and died later at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, according to police. Gustafson was at the location to meet someone to go hunting, police said, and may have been crossing Route 544 to get something from his vehicle.

The Jeep was driven by Margaret Julika Blankenship, 54, of Crumpton, according to police. The Maryland State Police Crash team responded to the scene to investigate because of the two fatalities. Such investigations can take up to 30 days, police said.

Pulleyn was a doctor of pharmacy at Chester River Hospital, married to Schuyler Pulleyn. She graduated from North Caroline High School in 2002 where she was valedictorian and attended Goucher College in Towson and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, graduating in 2010. Gustafson attended Kent County High School and married Katherine Ann Crew in 1973. After working at Wilson Taylor Builders, Gustafson became a self-employed contractor in 1985. He had a daughter, Dawn Elizabeth Johnson and two grandchildren, Reece and Rylee Johnson.
