Patricia Mullinax

With hearts full of love and gratitude for a life beautifully lived, we celebrate Patricia— an amazing, kind, loving, and selfless mother, granny, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, and great-granny, who has gone home to be with Jesus.

She was the heart of her family— a steady source of comfort, wisdom, laughter, and unconditional love. As a mother, she gave endlessly of herself, always putting her daughter first and teaching by example what it means to live by grace, strength, and compassion. As a granny and great-granny, she created a legacy of warmth, imagination, and joy.

Her faith in Jesus was strong. She trusted Him in every season and reflected His love in the way she cared for others. She found strength in prayer and peace in knowing that this world was not her final home.

She had a beautiful way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and loved. Known by many as “Granny,” her kindness extended to her family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. She loved to talk. She oftentimes carried on conversations with complete strangers in various places: waiting rooms, ball games, restrooms, just about anywhere. Her life was a testament to humility and generosity.

Though our hearts ache in her absence, we rejoice knowing she is now in the presence of our Lord— whole, healed, and at peace. Her love will continue to guide us, her faith will inspire us, and her memory will live on in the countless lives she shaped.
