of Conway, AR

March 20, 1935 - April 20, 2025

Jola A. Mullins, 90, passed away peacefully at her home in Conway on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025. Born March 20, 1935, in Mt. Vernon, Arkansas, she was the daughter of Warren and Flota Harlan.

Jola was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Faber Mullins, for 70 wonderful years until his passing in 2021. Together, they built a legacy of love, hard work, and family devotion.

She is survived by her children: Keith (Carolyn) Mullins, Johnny Mullins, and Roberta Jones; grandchildren Kristen (Eric) Woodard, Matt (Meagan) Mullins, and Clint (Lindsey) Jones; step-granddaughter Cindy (John) Drye; and great-grandchildren Walker and Emery Alex Woodard, Ryleigh and Jack Mullins, and Preslee, Luci, Grant, and Alla Kathryn Jones. She also leaves behind many cherished cousins, nieces, and nephews, each of whom she loved deeplyâ€"and was deeply loved in return.

Jola was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Betty Ray; her brothers, V.V. and Norman Harlan; and her daughter-in-law, Sarah Mullins.

A lifelong resident of Faulkner County, Jola was proud of her rootsâ€"and prouder still to be a staunch, lifelong Democrat. She had a strong work ethic and instilled the same in her children, working for years at Prince Gardner, the Ramada Inn, and the Faulkner County Senior Citizens Center.

Jola was a faithful member of R & C church of Christ, where she loved and rarely missed the retirees' class. She had a sweet tooth for banana pudding, a deep admiration for Bill Clinton, and a love for puzzle books, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune. Nothing brought her more joy than ''grabbing'' a Coke with friends or being surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

She was kind, helpful, fiercely honest, and a loyal friend. Her presence was a gift, and her absence is felt deeply by all who knew and loved her.

Visitation: Wednesday, April 23, 5:00-7:00 pm, Roller-McNutt, Conway. Funeral: Thursday, April 24, 10:00 am, R & C church of Christ, Conway. Memorials: Southern Christian Home, Morrilton AR.
