Cynthia MULLIS Obituary
Cindy, the youngest of three Johnson girls from Macon, Ga., was born on Aug. 16, 1953. Cindy met her soul mate while in high school, married at age 19, and their union lasted for 37 years. From this union they were blessed with three children and six grandchildren. She loved her family and could never do enough for them. Cindy considered her life's work her family and was unselfishly dedicated to them. Cindy's philosophy of life was for 'making memories'. We, her husband and children, only hope to approach the standard she has set for us. We will never forget the warmth of her welcome, her infectious laughter, and her generosity of heart. She leaves an unfillable void behind.
Survivors include her beloved husband, Dean 'Skip' A. Mullis; three children, Paul and his wife, Amy, Thomas, and Brandy; and six grandchildren, Ashley, Brady, Guy, Tanar, Shelbie, and Nathan. Other survivors include her sisters, Elizabeth Wade and her husband, Ken, and Patty Halverson and her husband, Donny; and sisters-in-law, Debbie Callihan, Dione Ringer, and Dianne Touhy. The Mullis family is inclusive of many young people who considered themselves 'Mamaw's children'. She loved and cared for each of them.
A celebration of Cindy's life will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 1, 2010, at W. J. Smith & Son Funeral Home. The family will receive friends following the service until 8:30 p.m.
Memorial donations may be made to the Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters, P.O. Box 2156, Norfolk, VA 23501.

Dear Skip & blessed children: I am deeply saddened for your great loss. I will be praying for all of you that God will wrap you in His loving arms with the peace and grace that only He can provide through these very sad days. Please keep Cindy's laughter and joy ever present in your mind and know that she is happy with our Creator waiting for her loved ones to join her when He calls!
