Sherrill Mullis Obituary
Sherrill Wayne Mullis, age 78, passed away February 1, 2026 in Badin, NC.
Sherrill was born on October 30, 1947 in Monroe, NC, a son of the late Onus Denver Mullis and Sadie Snipes Mullis.
Sherrill was a hardworking, dependable man who took pride in the life he built with his own two hands. A dedicated welder by trade and a true fisherman at heart, he found joy both in an honest day’s work and in the quiet peace of the water. Sherrill had a natural talent for fixing just about anything — if something was broken, he could figure it out — a skill that reflected not only his craftsmanship but his patience and determination. Known for his strong work ethic and steady presence, he was someone family and friends could always count on, leaving behind a legacy of resilience, resourcefulness, and simple, genuine living.
In addition to his parents, he was proceeded in death by his daughter, Kristi Szarka, Siblings; Joann Jackson and Onus Denver Mullis, Jr.
He is survived by his wife, Rita Mullis of Badin. Three daughters, Judy(Scott) Rogers of Lillington, NC, Bobbie (Chip) Raye of Marshville, Joy (George) Clark of Iron Station, NC; One son, Rob (Christina) Szarka of McCall Creek, Mississippi. Sister, Judy Mullis Kelly of Marshville, NC.
He is also survived by 9 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews who will miss him immensely.
