Shirley Wellden Mullins
June 13, 1936 – March 16, 2022
Shirley Ann Wellden Mullins, age 85 of Decatur, passed away
peacefully at home on Wednesday March 16, 2022. She was born in Athens,
Alabama to James Elmo Wellden and Eva B. Marlow. She was preceded in death by her parents, her
husband of 63 years, Otto “Toby” Lafayette Mullins, and two sisters, Eva Marie
Smith (Harold) and Doris Jean Lamon (Doc).
Shirley was a long-time member of the Ezell Sunday School
Class and Westmeade Baptist Church in Decatur. She retired from Monsanto in
1993 after 30 plus years to become a fulltime “Mimi” to her granddaughters. She
volunteered for several years at Hospice of Limestone County. She and Toby were
members of the Huntsville Botanical Garden “Grubbers”. A true southern lady possessed of charm and
grace, Shirley was a fabulous cook and hostess and loved to entertain friends
and family in their home. She was always giving generously of herself to others
no matter the situation or circumstances.
She loved to decorate, and was always on the lookout for the next
antique or treasure that would add that perfect touch to her curated home. A
home that was always a welcoming haven for love and happiness where no one was
a guest, but everyone was at home.
Shirley is survived by her daughter Amy Mullins Golden and
husband Harry of Athens; granddaughters Madeline Golden Howard and husband Kyle
of Helena, Alabama and Olivia Golden Garner and husband Daniel of Harvest,
Alabama, one sister Mary Orr and husband Johnny of Brentwood, Tennessee, two
brothers, Jimmy Wellden and wife Joan of North Carolina and Andy Wellden and
wife Linda of Athens; numerous cherished nieces, nephews, and friends; three
great-grand dogs; and a great-grand cat.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at DCI
Dialysis Center, Dr. Reginald Gladish and staff, Dr. A, Ella, Shelia, Amanda
and the staff at Valley Internal Medicine and the doctors and nurses of Athens
Limestone Hospital in the ER and on the floors, particularly Dr. Matthew Hanserd.
Service will be held at Westmeade Baptist Church in
Decatur, Alabama on Tuesday March 22, 2022 at 11:00 am. The family will receive
friends from 10:00 am until11:00 am
