Frank Mullins, age 83, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025, at Norton Community Hospital.
Frank was born to Rufus and Rita Bell Mullins at home in Dickenson County on March 30, 1942. He spent his early years exploring the family holler with his siblings and cousins, where he developed a lifelong love for nature and wildlife. Later, the family moved to Fairfax, where he got into shenanigans with his uncle Jimmy, such as lying about his birthday to get his driver's license early and hiding it from the police to avoid speeding tickets.
In 1969, Frank married Peggy Jane Bryant, and the next year, the couple welcomed the birth and mourned the death of their daughter, Tammie. Frank was tired of the big city life, and as he often said, “There’s no place like home,” so he and Peggy moved back to the family land where he was born. There, Frank drove coal trucks, rode motorcycles, flew remote control planes, made deals at the flea market, fished, and followed his uncle's example by getting into shenanigans with his nephews.
Later in life, Frank and Peggy adopted a daughter, Debbie, whom they both loved dearly. He and Debbie enjoyed boating and fishing together. Even after Peggy passed away and Debbie became an adult and had moved out, he would call her, telling her to get dressed because they were going out to get something to eat or to go to High K**b to see the changing leaves. At home, he enjoyed feeding and watching the wildlife, and apparently, the wildlife liked him as well, since more than once they came into his trailer.
Frank is preceded in death by his wife, Peggy, their daughter, Tammie, his parents, Rufus and Rita Bell, and his siblings: Jerry Mullins, Nora Havenner, Susie Barrington, and Helen Mullins.
He is survived by his daughter, Debbie Woodruff (Darvin), siblings, Jean Mould and Hank Mullins (Sandy), and many loving friends and family members. A special thank you goes to his cousins, Larry Nowlin, Barry Nowlin, Johnny Mullins, and their wives for their help during the last months of his life.
The family will receive friends on Friday, October 17, 2025, at Mullins Funeral Home Chapel in Clintwood, Virginia, starting at 12 PM. Services will follow at 1 PM.
Pallbearers will be Danny Barrington, Kevin Barrington, Jerry Havenner, Chad Mullins, Barry Nowlin, Nicholas Price, and Andrew Price.
Honorary Pallbearers will be Ray Barrington, Larry Nowlin, and Johnny Mullins.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Liver Foundation or Defenders of Wildlife.

Shirley Delores Kelley, age 82 passed away on Monday, September 22, 2025, to be with our Lord and Savior. She was at Holston Valley Hospital with her loving husband, Blaine Kelley, by her side. She was a longtime resident of Clintwood, Virginia.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest Lee and Novia Lydia (Phillips) Minton; her two brothers, Ernest Glenn Minton and Henry Lee Minton; and two daughters, Kimberly Eden and Kay Denise Hall. She is survived by the love of her life, Blaine Kelley, and her daughter, Karen Newton of Colorado Springs. She has numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren abroad, along with countless nieces and nephews.
Shirley was a pioneer in her own right. She faced many life-challenging events and handled them with grace and grit. She never allowed circumstances to prevent her from doing the right thing, even at her own expense. At age 40, she earned her nursing degree, which led to many roles in her field, including visiting nurse. She adored the elderly and fought for better care and compassion, believing they are valued regardless of their age or condition. She also volunteered in many roles with the Republican Party.
She loved horses, dogs, working in her garden, and flower beds. She enjoyed riding motorcycles with her husband and took a few cross-country trips. As a true Southern lady, she was also unafraid to voice her opinions. She loved sharing her thoughts to improve others' lives and highlight what is needed for their well-being.
She spent much time in the kitchen, and no matter how long it took, it was always worth the wait. Shirley had a passion for life and never hesitated to try or do something, even if others objected. She embodied grace, elegance, courage, and determination in every aspect of her life, right up until her last breath. She will be missed, and her legacy will live on forever in our hearts.
Services for Shirley will be held as follows:
On Friday, September 26, 2025, the family will receive friends beginning at 6:00 PM, followed by a service at 7:00 PM, with Clergy Keith Dotson officiating, with the Southwest Virginia Nursing Honor Guard speaking as well, at Mullins Funeral Home Chapel.
