Joyce Mulkins Obituary

Joyce Annette Mulkins, 65, was called home to the Lord on December 19, 2025, in Russellville, AR.

Born on September 19, 1960, Joyce was known for her giving nature, loving presence, and thoughtful gestures, wrapped with a sense of humor that brought joy to those around her.

Joyce is survived by her children, Tenessia Posey, Misty Perez, and Joyce Annette Wyatt, as well as her son-in-law Justin Wyatt. Her life was further blessed by her grandchildren Kyle Goldsberry, Kaylee Goldsberry, Elijah Posey, Kaleb Posey, Preciosa Perez, Reyna Perez, Skylar Schaetz, and Seth Pierce, and one great-grandson, Sawyer Schaetz. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don Mulkins, her father, James Dodson, and her mother, Rosalene Dodson Calhoun.

Joyce was a vibrant individual who cherished her time shopping at Hobby Lobby with her sister, indulging in her love for baking, and generously giving gifts to her loved ones. She was deeply committed to charitable causes, contributing to organizations like Wounded Warrior, Toys for Tots, and The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, reflecting her beautiful soul's desire to make a difference.

Joyce chose to donate her body to science, hoping to contribute to the betterment of others even after her passing. A celebration of her life is scheduled for September 19, 2026, in Russellville, AR, honoring her final wishes and her impactful life.

Life will never be the same without her. I'm lucky to have had her as a sister and a friend. Hobby Lobby will never be the same. I love and miss her dearly.

My favorite memory was when I was living with my grandma when I was little. We ate watermelons and I kept the seeds to try and plant my own watermelons in the yard. Me and my grandma would always talk and laugh about that time. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was always so kind and knew how to put a smile on everyone´s face. I will forever miss her.
