How can you pick just one memory of My dear Uncle Ira. I was so blessed to marry into the Mullis Family. Uncle Ira was one of a kind. The first time I met him was at the barber shop in Jackson Park. Gary had taken me to Kannapolis to meet him after we had gotten married. The first thing he asked was Did I know The Lord. When I told him yes I did he said that is wonderful and preceded to tell both Gary and I that putting God first in our marriage was the key to a long and happy marriage. When Gary passed away suddenly in 2008 he was right there with scripture to help me long that journey. That next year when my father in law was placed in hospice the day we thought was going to be his last he and some of the family drove to Greensboro to see Leroy (Doc) Mullis Uncle Ira's older bother and be with me. He read the Bible to my Dad and would not leave me. He promised his brother he would take care of me. I can say with a greatful heart he did just that. When I met Dave he embraced him and was so happy I had found a Godly man to spend the rest of my life with. I told him one day after Dave and I had gotten engaged that once I got married I was no longer going to be a Mullis and his response to me was always going to be a part of The Mullis Family. I will miss you so much Uncle Ira
Love you! Debbie Mullis
Tribute to a very special man and prayers for Sarah and and the entire Mullis family. Rev 21:4
Thank you Lord for bringing Ira into our Family. I loved sitting with him at First Assembly lunches and hearing him “tell of old”. Our Family loved Aunt Hazel also. She was in the hospital at the same time my dad was — directly across the hallway! My brother, Mick, visited her often. Life is definitely not coincidental but I believe all part of our Father God’s Perfect Plan for us. Dear Lord please bring your comfort to the Mullis Family hearts. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen
Mr. Mullis was a good friend of my late husband, Harold, and he always spoke well of him. My sincere condolences.
Wally and I always looked forward to Mr. Mullis coming to the Narrow Gate/ Opportunity House services on Thursday nights at Midway. He always had a positive word and usually was focused on a specific scripture he wanted to share. His faith was an inspiration to us. Sending our love and comfort to all the family but especially Mark and David who also were a part of Narrow Gate. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Wally and Diane Boswell
