My Heart Definitely Hurts Sister Mullins was one of a kind i loved her so much. she was my Sunday School Teacher after Sunday School I would Carry Her Bags To her seat weather it was her ushering or her sitting while the Jr. Ushers ushered on 2nd and 4th Sundays. Even taught me the books of the bible. and would pick me and my siblings up for UBDA Congress when she drove the bus. I will miss her so much!!!

Condolence from Maya Sterling Cooper on January 18th, 2023 12:26 am

Sis. Mullins was such a sweet spirit and a large part of my experience growing up at Greater Zion. She was one of the ones to cut up with my mom. It was a cadre of holy women that raised us all. Please be encouraged knowing that she is now at rest in heaven. She and my mom probably jostling over who is going to usher the center aisle…. Love you all.
