William Jack Mullins' Obituary
William Jack Mullins returned to Jesus and his Heavenly family on Dec 26, 2015. He left peacefully at his Daughter’s home with his Wife, Daughter and Son-in-law by his side.
William was born on 05/31/43 in Holden, West Virginia. His Father, George R. Mullins and Mother, Anna J. Brooks proceeded him in death. He had 3 Brothers and 8 Sisters.
William was married to Sondra “Sam” Mullins for 43 years and they had 1 child. Jamy (James) Smith of Catalina AZ. They also raised their Granddaughter, Ashlyn Monet Mullins, who recently turned 18. William had 2 additional sons from a previous marriage. Kenneth “Hillbilly” (Christina) Mullins of Tucson AZ and John (Sheila) Mullins of Argenta, IL. He also had 3 stepdaughters from Sondra’s first marriage, Kobi, Kasi and Kris. He spoke often of Kasi (Troy) Hofeling’s family.
With 6 Children, he had a total of 21 Grandchildren and 17 Great Grandchildren.
William started work as a Laborer for the N&W Railroad in Decatur IL and retired as a Stationary Engineer.
Only God knows how many souls William touched with his love of our Lord. He would share his testimony with friends, neighbors, loved ones and strangers. He read his bible daily on his patio and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds dance around his flowers and plants. One of the last things he asked Sondra to do was fill the patio with new plants and flowers for this upcoming year.
He loved his family dearly and in his last days repeatedly asked about his Brothers John (Cathy) Mullins of Mt. Auburn, IL and George (Beverly) Mullins of Decatur, IL.
We will miss him dearly and will find peace in knowing he is where there is no pain or tears. We know our time here on Earth is but an instant compared to eternity. Until then, we love you and will keep you close in our hearts.
Your Loving Family,
The Mullins
