FAYE DAUGHTRY MULLINS's Obituary
PERRY –
Hilda Faye Daughtry Mullins, 93, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 14, 2021. A private Graveside Service will be held in Perry Memorial Gardens with Rev. Lewis Kiger officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions to Homestead Hospice, 500 Osigian Blvd., Suite 300, Warner Robins, GA 31088, or Memorial Heights Baptist Church, 521 Courtney Hodges Blvd., Perry, GA 31069.
Faye was born in Center Hill, Florida, to the late Olan and Hilda Jordan Daughtry. She married the love of her life, Walter Glenn Mullins, Jr. Shortly after their first child was born, taking the advice of a friend in Florida they moved to Perry, Georgia, in 1952 to be near the recently built Robins Air Force Base, to begin a construction business. Their plan was to build beautiful houses in Perry to attract people moving to the area. And they did just that, including the eventual development of Camelot Subdivision, among others, through the years. After the untimely loss of W.G. in 1992, Faye continued to own and operate Mullins Construction Company with her family’s help. She was a founding member of Memorial Heights Baptist Church where she was active and attended faithfully until her health no longer allowed it. Faye was passionate about her faith and her family – the two things that were of utmost importance to her. While she worked outside the home, she continuously took time to create and maintain a welcoming and encouraging environment in which the raise her children and grandchildren. Faye was a member of one of the ladies’ service organizations in Perry, the Sorelle Club, where she found many of her closest friends, and was actively involved with the Arts and Crafts Bazaar that they sponsored year after year. An avid bridge player for most of her adult life, she turned to computers for games and keeping her mind active after she and her friends were unable to regularly gather for fun and fellowship. Even through her final days on this earth, Faye was cognizant and still holding her computer’s “mouse.” She will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.
Left to cherish the memories they made with Faye are her sons, Kim Mullins (Lynn) and Walter Mullins; her daughters, Nancy Mullins Granger, and Jane Holt (Ronnie); her grandchildren, Amy Stanley (Brad), Jill Waters (Kelly), Lauren Mullins, Jennifer Mullins, Matthew Arcos, Adam Arcos, Nicholas Granger, Stephanie Mullins Moon, Sam Mullins, Will Holt, and Jordan Holt (Ali); her great-grandchildren, Juliet Rimedio, Evan Rimedio, Bo Stanley, Liv Waters, Mast Arcos, Lily Moon, Ethan Moon, Harper Holt, and Aria Holt; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Faye was preceded in death by her beloved husband of over forty years, W.G. Mullins, Jr.; and her brothers, Palmer Daughtry and Robert Daughtry.
