Rebecca Sue Mixon Mullins Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Rebecca (Becky) Sue Mixon Mullins, born October 26, 1940, in El Dorado, Arkansas became absent from the body and present with her Savior on May 8, 2018 surrounded by her family, caregivers, and friends. She graduated from Magnolia High School in 1958 and obtained an associate degree in Secretarial Sciences at Southern State College. She was a secretary for Magnolia Chamber of Commerce, Berry Petroleum Company, McAlister Fuel Company, and First National Bank where she retired as the President’s secretary after 12 years. Following retirement, she became a full-time stay -at -home mom but remained active in her church and community. Mama Bec, as she was affectionately called, was best known for her intense dedication to Faith, Family, and Friends. She was a member of Central Baptist Church and a devoted prayer warrior. If she knew you, she prayed for you. If she didn’t know you, she still prayed for you. She was instrumental in organizing and honoring the National Day of Prayer with much support from the community and friends. She was actively involved in Bible Study Fellowship and served as a leader for many years. As most of you know, she was a true southern lady that was impeccably dressed and always “put together.” Her greatest pride and joy was in her family especially the accomplishments of her grandchildren. She cherished her memories with her wonderful friends as she referred to each one as her best friend. She was preceded in death by her parents, Inita Rebecca Hogan Mixon and Milam Nevel Mixon, and husband, John Herman Mullins.
