Mr. Spencer M. Mullen, Jr., 73, of Marion, AR, passed away Saturday, January 9, 2021 at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, TN. He was born June 29, 1947 in Grenada to S.M. and Yvonne Mullen. Spencer had a long, successful 50 year career with Rees-Memphis, Inc. retiring as Purchasing Agent. He had also honorably served in the National Guard. While hunting and fishing on his land were among his many hobbies, he enjoyed attending all of his grandchildren's activities and sporting events and he also loved to travel in their RV with the family on trips making memories to last a lifetime. Spencer possessed a loving, kind spirit and was a devoted family man, especially to his grandchildren whom he adored. Spencer was of the Baptist Faith and was a member of Fellowship Baptist Church. He loved and knew his personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. While we mourn his passing, we take comfort in knowing that he is with the Lord and no longer suffering. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
A graveside service to celebrate his life will be held at 2:00 PM Tuesday, January 12, 2021 in the Mullen Family Plot at the Paul Cemetery in Tallahatchie County with the Rev. William Tribble officiating.
