She resided in Clintwood, Virginia, with her devoted sister and caregiver, Anna Mullins. Born with Down syndrome, Lou lived a life full of pure, radiant love. She never met a stranger and was quick to offer a warm hug—even to someone she had just met. Her infectious smile could light up any room, and her joy was a gift to everyone fortunate enough to know her. Just about everyone that knew her, has a Lou story to tell.

Pallbearers will be: Michael Crabtree, Terry Mullins, Joseph Moore, Josh Moore, DJ Mullins, Jaxson and Jaeson Butts, Kaden Mullins and Carson Mullins.

The family would like to thank the nursing team in the ED at DCH. ICU and Med Surg teams at NCH and Ballad Home Health nurses for loving Lou like their family. We also would like to thank Dr. Graul at DCH ED, Dr. Gopalan at NCH and Dr. Sath in Kingsport for providing exceptional care to her over the years. Although her time on Earth is done, Lou’s legacy of love, laughter, and warmth will live on in each of us. She was truly an earth angel, and her light will continue to shine through the many lives she touched.

In honor of Lou’s boundless love, the family asks that you hug someone a little tighter today, light up a room with your smile, and maybe even put on her favorite singer, Conway Twitty.
