Farolyn "Lynn" Mullin

Farolyn Grace “Lynn” Mullin, age 87, passed away on February 3, 2026. She was born on July 4, 1938, in Bay City, Michigan.

Lynn married William (Bill) Clarence Mullin of Mississippi, and they began their family in San Francisco, California, where their first two children were born. The family later settled permanently along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where Lynn became a longtime resident of Pascagoula and Gautier beginning in the 60’s and where they welcomed their third child.

She devoted many years to caring for her family before beginning a career at Ingalls Shipbuilding, where she worked in several roles until her retirement in 2000. Following retirement, Lynn remained active, working part-time as a librarian for the University of Southern Mississippi in Gautier and later in customer service at Beltone in Pascagoula.

Lynn enjoyed staying busy and was especially fond of crafts, including macramé. She also enjoyed playing cards and games with friends at the Senior Citizen Center. She will be remembered for her kind heart, generous spirit, and willingness to help others.

She is survived by her children, Julie (Alton) Bass of Pascagoula, Mississippi; Marty Mullin and Sue Mullin of Pensacola, Florida; and John Stuart Sr. (Gail) Mullin of Eagle, Idaho; grandchildren, Robert (Carmen) Bass of Green Cove Springs, Florida; Jonathan Bass of Ocean Springs, Mississippi; Amanda (Brian) Wenzinger of Spanish Fort, Alabama; Mattie (Justen) Easton of New Orleans, Louisiana; Anna (Nick) Marette of New Orleans, Louisiana; John Stuart (Jadyn) Mullin of Kuna, Idaho; and Olivia (Reuel) Maddela of La Mirada, California; great-grandchildren, Daniel Hernandez, Julia Mae Wenzinger, Emily Grace Wenzinger, Iris Elizabeth Marette, and Ruth Opika Maddela; and siblings, Jerry Hitz, Maureen Hitz Coon and Pat Hitz (sister-in-law).

She was preceded in death by her parents, Theodore and Alma Hitz; her husbands, William Mullin and Howard Chase; and siblings, Charles (Kay) Hitz, Carol (Walter) Weinlander, Alvin (Hilu) Hitz, Alan Hitz, James Coon (brother-in-law,) and Dena Hitz (sister-in-law).
