A few days later, as Bill walked in to the gym to attend her basketball game she said “I’m going to marry that man”. What began as a blind date, led to almost 66 years of a faithful, loving marriage. They were married on October 20, 1951. In 1953, Bill finished the military service and they settled in Midland, Texas where they began a family and she devoted herself to raising their daughters. They joined Crestview Baptist Church in 1953 where she served faithfully in the choir and other ministries. Later in life, Polly began working for various companies.

After retirement, Polly enjoyed researching her family's history and creating genealogy books for each of her family members.She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Billy Bynum and daughters Paula Bynum and Denese Truitt of Midland, Texas; grandchildren and great grandchildren, Shana and her husband Mike Sawyer and their children, Aylah, Grace, Caleb and Brinley of Kokomo, Indiana, Ashley and her husband Johnny Gray and son, Isaiah Mathews of Midland, Texas, and Lauren Truitt and Antwon Washington and their children Alijah Truitt and Zahkius Washington of Midland, Texas.She is preceded in death by her parents, Lulie and Paul Anderson, sister, Mary Rabb, and brother, Walter Paul Anderson.Polly loved her family dearly and selflessly made every effort to make each moment special. “I love you little, I love you big.
