Carolyn Ann Mullins, 66, of Athens, TN went to be with the Lord on July 8, 2026.

Carolyn was a natural caregiver who devoted her life to caring for others. In addition to lovingly caring for her own family, she also looked after many children throughout the years. Her kindness and nurturing spirit earned her the title of "Mom" from countless people whose lives she touched. Carolyn had a special love for animals, especially cats, and enjoyed spending time sewing. Her gentle heart and compassionate nature will be remembered by all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed.

Preceded in death by father, Joel Coleman; mother, Evelyn Coleman; and brother, Wes Coleman.

Survivors include her daughter, Tiffany (Ronald) Welch; sister, Cinda Jenkins; niece, Emily (Abe) Aziz; nephew, Derek (Ashley) Jenkins; "adopted children", Becca Baldwin and Amber Martinez; and many other loved family and friends.

The family will hold a private service for family at a later date.

You are invited to share a personal memory of Carolyn or your condolences with her family at her online memorial located at www.companionfunerals.com. Companion Funeral Home of Athens and the Cody family are honored to assist the family with these arrangements.
