Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 27 to Feb. 28, 2023.
On Wednesday, February 22, 2023, John C. Mulvenna Jr., passed away at the age of 76. He was a loving husband to his wife Diana (Wollerman) Perlenfein, step-father to Dan (Lynn) Perlenfein and Devon (Andi) Perlenfein and doted on his granchildren. He also leaves behind beloved sisters Melaney (Gene) Jordan, Collene (Chris) Bauman, and numerous nephews, and nieces.

He is preceeded in death by his mother, Olive J. (Ackerman) Mulvenna, his father John C. Mulvenna Sr., sister Jacqueline (John) Caivano, brother Bruce (Paula) Mulvenna, and nephews Christopher Bauman and Domenick Mulvenna.

John was a graduate of Pitman High School. He served in the Army where he was a Sergeant and expert rifleman from October 1964 to October 1967. After an honerable discharge, he continued his education at Glassboro State College (Rowan University) and graduated with a B.A. in Social Studies/Certification in Secondary Education. John's true passion was to make a positive impact on the society around him, which is why he taught middle school history, was Community Development Director of the City of Corpus Christi, an Adult Education Coordinator at Columbus City Schools and donated his body to OSU Research.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for early summer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made toward John's favorite charity:

We met John on a bus going to Guatemala from El Salvador. He was funny, full of life and had a great spirit. We fondly remember our time together in that bus and even though we've never met again ever since, those moments of laughter were enough to remember him just like he was... on that day with his beautiful smile and beside his lovely wife Diana on that sunny hot day on a road towards adventure watching life happen in that foreign place, laughing, exploring and enjoying life. We will always remember you. Diamond & Monica Constantino de Kaba
