Effie Mullins Obituary
Effie Mullins, 102 years old of Jonancy, Kentucky, passed away Wednesday, July 30. 2025 at her residence. She was born on December 16, 1922, the daughter of the late Clark and Margaret Thacker Hamilton. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Anse Mullins, by a grandson, John Gregory Fields, by eight brothers: Burt, Millard, Raymond, Clark Jr., Earl, Clyde, Clarence and Smith Hamilton, by her sister, Nellie Newsome and by four sons-in-law: Rick Hatfield, Ralph Elkins, Ronald Young and Delaney Bowling.
Effie was a homemaker and a member of the Caney Creek Regular Baptist Church. Effie joined the Regular Baptist Church 75 years ago. She often said that joining the Regular Baptist Church was the best decision she ever made. She said her second best decision was marrying her husband, Anse Mullins. Her faith and her church were the foundation of her life from which she never wavered.
Effie is survived by six daughters: Lois (William) Fields, FloAnn Young, Evelyn (Bob) Damron, Linda Bowling, Judy Mullins and Sharon Hatfield, by 11 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and by her loving best friend, Rita Caudill.
We appreciate the loving care given to our mom by her caregivers: Charlene Henson, Brenda Newsome and Tammy Adkins.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2025, after 6 PM at the Lucas & Son Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held on Sunday at 1 PM at the Lucas & Son Funeral Home with Regular Baptist Ministers officiating. Burial will follow in the Mullins Family Cemetery at Elswick Branch of Virgie.
