I want to try and tell all the good things about Mom, for there were many. I'll only say that she loved her family and frineds deeply. Mom was born Dec 1, 1923 and she died Jan 9 1985, making her stay here on earth 61 years and thirty nine days. Mom was born to John Wess and Margaret Mullins of Knott County, Ky. both preceded her in death. Two brothers, James and Raymond, also preceded her in death. She is survived by four brothers and two sisters: Virgil Mullins of Oliver Springs, Tenn, Gilbert Mullins of Cass City, Mich, Robert Mullins of Taylorsville, Ky, Marcus Mullins of Detroit Mich, Cathy Ellis of Cass City, Mich, Wanda Reynolds of Charlestown, Ind, and Lottie Collins of Hibernia, Ind. Laura met and married Eldridge D. Mullins on November 19, 1942. Unto this union were born six children, who survive: James Mullins of Otiscas, Ind, Raymond Mullins of Henryville, Ind, Jonny Mullins of Charlestown, Ind, Lazondra Dunn of Vienna, Ind, Lewis Mullis of Otisco, Ind, and Cathy Smith of Vienna, Ind. Mom tried to raise us children right, and always tried to help others. Mom joined the Little Zion Old Regular Baptist Church on June 10 1973. She was a faithful member to her little church. Mom's last wish was that she might live long enough to see more of her children fellow her and Daddy in the old way, but she knew each one had to find their own way. She prayed they would seek Jesus before it was too late. Well, children, Mother is gone, but Jesus is still living and calling you. He is the truth and the life, and to meet Mother again you have to go by Jesus. Mom has gone where she need pray no more, but I will pray for you. Mom also left fifteen grandchildren who will miss her very much. She was my earthly mother, but my Sister in Christ. Written by her oldest son, James S.
