Roper Funeral Home and Crematory 206 Holly St Jasper, GA 30143 (706) 253-7500 (706) 253-0040 www.roperfuneralhome.com Pauline Thomason Mullins of Jasper, age 88, passed away on April 20, 2022 at Piedmont Mountainside Hospital with family by her side. Born and raised in the Hinton community on either August 21 or 22, 1933 (no one was ever entirely sure which it was), Pauline was a lifelong resident of Pickens County. Nearly 50 of her 88 years were spent in her little home on Old Cove Road, where she taught painting and ceramics in her basement and cared for those she loved most. She had many jobs over the years, working for Wayne and Joyce Anderson, Pickens Footwear, HD Lee, and then with her cousin Joan Arp at Jasper City Florist. She thoroughly enjoyed plants and flowers and spent long hours in her gardens. It was often joked that she could put a stick in dirt and grow a tree. In her semi-retired age, she volunteered much of her time at the Jasper Community Thrift Store. Helping others was second nature for her. Whether babysitting, donating, cooking, or sharing things from her garden, Pauline always gave selflessly and sincerely. A friend once remarked about her lovely earrings, to which she promptly took them out of her ears and handed them over as a gift. She had very adamant opinions about mostly everything, whether she shared them aloud or not, but she always valued family and friendships above all else. Pauline was preceded in death by her husband, Glanton "Bud" Mullins; her parents, Bill and Pearl Thomason; her brothers, James Thomason and Sam Thomason; her sisters, May Thomason and Lorene Jordan; and her nieces and nephews, Trina Boling, Diane Cornett, Gary Thomason, and Keith Thomason. Pauline leaves behind a host of close family, including her children and their spouses, Patsy Duckett, Ann and Jeff Dobson, Richard and Sally Young, and Carl and Lisa Duckett; her grandchildren, Leslie Thomas, Debbie Young, Karla Weaver, and Zach Dobson; her great-grandchildren, Tyler Weaver, Alyssa Holaway, Katlyn Moralis, Kellie Thomas, and Riley Dobson; and her great-great-granddaughter, Ellie Grace Holaway. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on April 22, 2022 at County Line Baptist Church where Pauline was a lifetime member. The Reverend Jess Posey will officiate the service, and interment will follow in the County Line Baptist Church cemetery. The family will receive visitors at Roper Funeral Home from 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 21, 2022. The family asks that no food be brought to the funeral home. Flowers are welcome, but the family would prefer donations to be made in Pauline's name to the Cemetery Fund at County Line Baptist Church. Arrangements are entrusted to the staff at Roper Funeral Home and Crematory.
