Mrs. Mary Jo Mullins

May 22, 1925 - February 27, 2019

Mary Jo Mullins' faith became complete when she entered the gates of heaven on February 27, 2019, at the age of 93. She had been living the past year at Buckner Westminster Place in Longview but considered Henderson her home. In fact, she had just moved to Brookdale Henderson where she passed away. Mary Jo was born May 22, 1925, in Breckenridge, Texas. She graduated from Henderson High School and Stephen F. Austin State College where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in English and Art Education. She loved refinishing furniture, painting with water colors, playing tennis, and gardening, but her fondest memories were of her former students and fellow teachers from Pine Tree, Henderson, Laneville, and West Rusk. Mary Jo was a member of First Baptist Church of Henderson since she was a child. She loved the Lord and was ready to go home. She is preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Herman "Moon" Mullins, and her grandson, Brett Mullins. She is survived by her children, Joe and Vicki Mullins of Henderson, Pat Mullins of Temple, and Janis and Bobby Robertson of Laneville, 6 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. Mary Jo's smile and positive attitude will be missed by all. A special thank you to Mary Jo's doctor, Mindy Shook, the staff Buckner, Brookdale, and HeartsWay Hospice. A family memorial service will be held at a later date. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.crawfordacrim.com.
