    Notes 
    • Irene Sandifer Mullen (Punk), 88, passed away on June 23, 2015 in her home in Houston, Texas, surrounded by family.

      Irene was born on July 26, 1926 in Franklin County, MS and grew up in the sawmill town of Quentin. She married William (Bill) Mullen, her hometown sweetheart, in 1952. The couple made their home in Houston, Texas, where she was a homemaker. Irene, Bill, and their daughters attended Richmond Plaza Baptist Church in Bellaire, TX for many years. In 2001, the Mullens joined Tallowood Baptist Church, where they were active members of the Sonshine sunday school class. They resided in the Westchester subdivision in the Memorial area, where Irene enjoyed playing in the neighborhood bridge group. She was an avid sports fan and loved watching the Astros and the Texans. She made pancakes every Saturday for all who would come by. She was a wonderful wife and mother and grandmother and will be missed by all.

      She is survived by her two children: Kim Mullen and Sherry Mullen Strong (and husband Paul), both of Houston, TX; one "adopted daughter" Julia Ingram of Houston; four beloved grandchildren: Chris Crumby (and wife Jean), Keri Crumby, Elizabeth Strong Alvarez (and husband Jonathan), and Billy Strong; three great grandchildren: Hudson and Keegan Crumby and JD Alvarez. She is also survived by her sweet older sister, Bernice Kent of Pascagoula, MS, and numerous nieces and nephews.

      The family would like to especially thank the staff at Houston Hospice for their compassionate care for our mom during her final days.

      Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Tallowood Baptist Church, 555 Tallowood Road, Houston, TX 77024. The family will receive visitors an hour before the service.

      In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Irene Mullen to Tallowood Baptist Church, 555 Tallowood Lane, Houston, TX 77024.
