Roy McMullen Obituary
Roy was born on July 3, 1945 at Columbia to his beloved parents, Willard McMullen and Chlotile Head McMullen. He passed from this life on Monday May 13, 2024 at his residence following an extended illness. Roy was all things Louisiana. He loved hunting, fishing, music and especially dancing. He loved his family and would help anyone without hesitation. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Virginia Kelly, his brother's, Ray McMullen and Jim Bo McMullen; the mother of his children, Wanda Simpson McMullen; his great nephew, Ronnie Harper and his cousin Russell McMullen.
Roy retired from the Louisiana Forestry Commission after thirty-four years of dedicated service. He was a true friend to everyone, always the life of the party, loved joking around and never met a stranger.

Roy also had some special friends: Harry Whittington, Kenneth Fatheree, Bo Crain, Larry Pitters, Dewey Honeycutt and his beloved dog, Dottie.
Serving as pallbearers will be Harry Whittington, Kenneth Fatheree, Bo Crain, Larry Pitters, Dylan Caraway,Dustin Wyant, Glenn Poole and Charles Oxner. Dewey Honeycutt will be an honorary pallbearer.
