Jenieffer A Spillman

Jenieffer Danet Spillman, affectionately known as Jenny, was born on November 26, 1950 and passed away on April 22, 2026, in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia. Jenny was a devoted mother, grandmother, and cherished family member whose warmth and generosity left an impressionable mark on all who knew her.

Jenny was known for her kind and generous spirit, always putting family first and above all else. She created countless beautiful memories with her children and her grandchildren-moments filled with love and laughter that will be treasured for years to come. Her personality was a blend of steadfast devotion and even though she could be hardheaded, stubborn and a little forgetful at times, she never failed to keep those around her laughing. Jenny was a woman who loved with her whole heart. Never to be forgotten by family and friends.

Born Jenieffer Amerson, she was the beloved soulmate and wife of the late Danny Spillman Sr., her first and only true love. She is preceded in death by her late son, Danny "Glenn" Spillman Jr., and her parents, Jefferson and Irene Amerson, along with her brother Bill.

Jenny’s surviving family includes her devoted daughter, Kathi Spillman, who carries forward her mother’s memory of her love and kindness. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Kristine Collins, Jade Spillman, and Dani Spillman, and a joyful great-grandmother to Roland, Audrey, Teegan, Oaklee, Laken, Lilah, and Kyler. Jenny’s bond extended deeply to her siblings—her twin brother Jeff, sisters Anne and Carolyn, and her baby sister, roommate, and best friend-Shelley Amerson, who shared in countless moments of sisterly love and companionship. She also left behind numerous beloved nieces and nephews who cherished her presence in their lives. With special appreciation and love extended to Paige Toole, whose love and support is much appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Danny LaRue Daniels

Danny LaRue Daniels, affectionately known to many as DD, Ol Coot, and Papa, left a void in our hearts with his passing on April 21, 2026, in Newnan, GA. Born on September 24, 1953, in Phenix City, AL, Danny’s life was marked by unwavering dedication, heartfelt kindness, and an infectious spirit that touched all who knew him.

Danny was a beloved son of Brandon Daniels, and Jean and George Matthews, all of whom preceded him in death, along with his cherished wife, Loretta Edwards Daniels. His journey took root in Phenix City, Alabama, and he attended Chavala High School in Seale, AL.

Professionally, Danny served as a lineman with the Tallapoosa River Electric Co-Operative for over 37 years before retiring in 2008. His tenure was characterized not only by his exceptional skills but by a genuine passion for serving his community. A natural leader and mentor, Danny took great pride in guiding others and found profound joy in witnessing their successes. Through these efforts, he forged life-long friendships that were a testament to his generous spirit and integrity.

Beyond his career, Danny was a Godly man who never met a stranger. He radiated love with his whole heart and lightened hearts with his ever-present jokes. His Sundays were sacred, spent attending church and reaching out to help those around him. These qualities endeared him to all who had the privilege of his company.

Danny leaves behind a loving family who carry his legacy forward with affection and respect. His children, Nate Daniels (Elisa) of Phenix City, AL, and Nicki Bartley of Columbus, GA, continue to cherish his memory alongside four grandchildren: Mikel Freeman (Riley), Tatum Gillenwater, Wesley Rose Davis (Aidan), and Dani Bartley. Danny’s legacy also extends to his great-grandchildren Layken Hayes Gillenwater, Miller Lane Davis, and Michael James Freeman-soon to be welcomed into the family.

Also mourning his loss is his wife, Cathy Flournoy Daniels, of Hamilton, GA, daughters, Tammy Fulleton (Kyle) of Hamilton, GA, and Becky Clark (Jarrad) of Columbus, GA, and grandchildren Whitney Fulleton, TJ Clark, Elizabeth Billings (Tulsa), and AJ Fulleton whom he loved as his own; and his sister, Barb Taylor and nephews Randy Taylor (Nicki), David Taylor (Serena), and Craig Taylor (Kirissa), along with two great-nephews and three great-nieces, all lovingly rooted in West Virginia.

The community will gather to honor Danny’s life with a visitation on April 24, 2026, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory, located at 3874 Gentian Blvd., Columbus, GA 31907.

Danny LaRue Daniels was a man of faith, humor, and boundless heart—a mentor, friend, and beloved family man whose impact will be felt for generations to come. His memory will forever shine brightly in the hearts of those who loved him. May he rest in peace.

Chance Miles

Chance Carlisle Miles, a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, friend, and devoted fiancé, passed away on April 18, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, humor, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. Born on July 10, 1989, Chance lived a life marked by hard work, genuine compassion, and a joyfulness that endeared him to all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M. Sunday, April 26, 2026 at The Church in the County 12289 Georgia 315, Cataula, GA 31804 according to McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory, 3874 Gentian Blvd. Columbus, GA 31907.

Chance was a man who took tremendous pride in his work as the owner and operator of Miles Refrigeration, serving Columbus and the surrounding communities. Known affectionately as “the cooler guy,” he built a reputation for his skill, reliability, and willingness to help anyone in need. But who he was went far beyond his commitment to his craft, Chance had a heart for people, especially those going through hard times. Whether offering a listening ear or extending a helping hand to those less fortunate, Chance’s generosity came from a place of true sincerity. He often sought out conversations with those experiencing homelessness, offering both encouragement and financial support, motivated not by recognition but by a heartfelt belief in the inherent dignity of all people.

Family was everything to Chance. He loved being together, especially at family gatherings where he could usually be found at the “kids’ table”because anyone who knew Chance knew he was just a big kid at heart. His playful spirit and quick wit brought constant laughter to everyone around him. Chance had a natural gift for humor. He was truly hilarious, and he had a way of making everyone laugh, no matter the moment. He shared a deep and loving bond with his fiancé, Berkley Maddox, and treasured the life they were building together, whether traveling to concerts or simply enjoying quiet moments side by side.

Chance’s passions extended beyond work and family. A lifelong baseball enthusiast, he began playing at a young age and formed lasting friendships with teammates he considered brothers, and their families became his family. He also loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, interests he shared with his father and grandfather from childhood. Whether searching for a big buck or kayaking the river in pursuit of striper, he found peace and happiness in nature. He was a devoted Alabama fan and a passionate fan of Star Wars and Jurassic Park, enjoying each new release and spending spare time playing Star Wars video games. Many of these interests were shared with Berkley, reflecting a joyful and deeply connected partnership.

Chance graduated from Harris County High School in 2008 and continued his education with determination. He earned an Associate of Applied Science in Fire Science from CVCC, pursued additional studies in that field, and later obtained a diploma in HVAC. While these accomplishments built the foundation for his career, what truly set Chance apart was his dedication to personal growth. He was an avid reader of motivational books, he immersed himself in self-improvement content, and often journaled about becoming a better person. In a Facebook post from September 2025, Chance wrote, “If I had to choose one thing I would like to be remembered for, it would be that I was a good friend to the people who I care about.” This humble sentiment perfectly encapsulated the heart of the man he was.

Chance’s proudest accomplishments included owning his own business, being the best son and brother he could be, and finally finding the love of his life. His legacy is one of laughter, love, and an infectious spirit that made every memory with him a treasured one.

Chance is preceded in death by his father, Russell Carlisle Miles, and his grandparents, Richard Carlisle Miles and Betty Davis Miles.

Chance is survived by his loving mother, Tanya Rose Miles; his devoted fiancé, Berkley Maddox; his sisters Lyndsee Miles and Baylee Miles; his brother-in-law, Jonathan Knowles; his stepmother, Linda Miles; his grandparents, Eva Sue Rose and Joseph “Bubba” Rose; his many aunts and uncles that he adored, especially his aunt, Sharon Miles, who played a significant role in his life, and his uncle, Mark Rose whom he deeply admired, along with two men who became cherished mentors to him after the loss of his father, Jeff Pritchard and JC Cotton; as well as numerous beloved cousins and dear friends. All who knew Chance will forever hold dear the warmth, laughter, and light he brought into their lives.

Chance Carlisle Miles lived fully, loved deeply, and left the world better for having been in it. The world feels a lot quieter without him in it, but what he gave to the people who knew him will never be lost. His memory will remain a lasting blessing and a reminder of the power of kindness, humor, and heart.

Susan Frazer Boyter

Susan Frazer Boyter, affectionately known from early childhood as “Buden” by her sisters, as “Frazer” to her lifelong friends, and as “Bebe” to her beloved granddaughters, was born on March 24, 1939, in Atlanta, GA, to Hazel and Alan Frazer, as their middle child. She died on April 16, in Columbus, GA, at Columbus Hospice.

She had been a resident of Columbus for the greatest part of her life, since her early days at Wynnnton Elementary. She and her friends moved on to Columbus High, where they added to their close group of friends, and she excelled as a student and as a leader in her class.

College days were spent at Shorter College in Rome, GA, where she majored in English. She began her teaching career at her old alma mater, Columbus High. After obtaining a degree in Counseling at Columbus State, she joined the counseling staff at Hardaway High School, where she remained until her retirement in 1999. She later joined the counseling staff at Carver High School for a time when they were short of staff. She became a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, a teachers’ honorary society, the UDC, the DAR, and The Order of the Tartan.

She was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Columbus, for over 70 years, and she sang in the choir for most of that time, from her teenage years onward. She loved singing and was sad to have to give it up due to her illness. She indulged her love of music by attending concerts whenever possible.

Her adult life can best be described as a travelogue. She flew from the tombs of Egypt to the realm of the Dalai Lama and from the Land of the Rising Sun to the shores of Australia, and to almost every point in between. She was an avid and lifelong “card shark”, excelling in her beloved game of bridge, which she played to the very end. Her collections, of canes, umbrellas, objets d’art, paintings, and Beatrix Potter, among others, were legendary.

Buden adored animals, particularly dogs; and whenever she traveled, she was always on the lookout for people with dogs. She was a person of many and varied interests, and she read incessantly . Her Scottish heritage was very important to her, and she traveled extensively in Scotland. If there were such a thing as a “Woman for All Seasons,” she would definitely qualify.

She was married to the late Jon Matthews in 1967; and after his death, to Tom Boyter, who is the father of her two sons.

Buden is survived by her sons, Joel Boyter of Columbus, GA, and Will (Pat) Boyter of Dallas, GA; by her two sisters, Jane Frazer of Atlanta and Judy Frazer Brouillette of Columbus; by two granddaughters, Jillian and Maryn Boyter; a niece, Leslie (Casey) Caylor; her “third sister”, Lisa Boyter (Bryan) Hendrix; several cousins and other relatives, as well as a host of dearly-loved friends.

A memorial service will be held 2:00 PM, Saturday, May 9, 2026 in the chapel of McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory. The family will receive friends one hour before the service at the funeral home, 3874 Gentian Blvd. Columbus, GA 31907. Burial will follow at the family plot at Grantville City Cemetery in Grantville, GA, beside her Holloway grandparents.

Vanessa Katrin Jones

Vanessa Jones, a woman deeply dedicated to uplifting others, creating community, and making an impact far and wide, passed away on April 16th, 2026, in Columbus, GA. Born on May 20th, 1975, in Mainz, Germany, to Regina and Irvin Thames, Vanessa moved to America at the age of 19, beginning her young adult life in Killeen, Texas. She spent most of her adult life in Tampa, Florida, where she raised her daughter, Imani. She later moved to Columbus, Georgia, and true to her nature, she made a deep impression on everyone who has grown to know and love her.

Vanessa leaves us all with memories rooted in joy, laughter and love, sincere positivity, and service to others. She is remembered by her deep passion for her Afro-German Heritage, her uniqueness and dignified strength. Vanessa created a variety of communities centered in genuine friendship, kinship and sisterhood, always operating as a connector.

To be around her meant to always be laughing, to feel uplifted and unstoppable. Vanessa’s spirit and presence brought an unwavering warmth and comfort. To know her meant being met with the most infectious smile, and a magnetic spirit that will not be forgotten, but is also impossible to forget.

Vanessa had a deep passion for music, dancing, and all things joyful. In her free time, you could find her antiquing for hidden treasures, spending time at the beach/or thinking about spending time at the beach, spending time with her daughter, or most often listening to music. For Vanessa, music (specifically hip hop and funk) was never just background noise, it was an invitation to stroll down memory lane. A reason to reach out and spark a conversation with an old friend and embrace nostalgia. She was our personal Facebook DJ.

She is survived by her mother Regina Thames, her husband Arthur Jones and her daughter Imani Jones and a wide circle of extended family—aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends/sisters spanning across oceans.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 16th, 2026 at 2:00 PM in the chapel of McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory. The family will receive friends before and after the service at the funeral home, 3874 Gentian Blvd. Columbus, GA 31907.

A repast will be held immediately following the memorial service at the Columbus Museum, located at 1251 Wynnton Rd, Columbus, GA 31906.

May she rest well amongst her ancestors, and be met by her father Irvin Thames, where the party continues above, as it has below.

Our Story

We have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life. Each family comes to us because they know we are leaders in our profession, dedicated to excellence in service, and have the highest integrity. Our History James McMullen started working in Columbus as a young man in his father's business, McMullen Garage and Service Station located on Andrews Road in Columbus, Ga. He attended Rosemont Elementary and was a 1958 Graduate of Jordan Vocational High School. After graduating from high school, James attended Georgia Southwestern College. He was a U.S. Army Veteran serving in Germany. After returning from Europe in 1961, he began his career in Funeral Service. In 1964, James graduated from Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science in Dallas, TX. and worked locally for many years. In 1987 he and his son Allen and their family opened McMullen Mortuary. Mr. McMullen, who died in 2015, served thousands of families in this community over the past 50 years. The roots of McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory go back to 1987. The original business was located on 13th Street and Webster Ave. in downtown Columbus, Georgia. "It is important to improve the level of service available to Muscogee County families, and establish more of a community oriented business," states Allen McMullen. In March of 1995 a groundbreaking was held for the new facility on Gentian Blvd. On July 15, 1996, an open house and dedication ceremony was held for the new funeral home. The 18,000 square-foot facility features a spacious chapel, viewing rooms, a family lounge, and more than 200 parking spaces. The building also contains handicapped accessible facilities. The chapel area is designed not just to accommodate wheelchair users, but to make sure that they can participate in services in a meaningful fashion. "In a community like Columbus," noted Allen McMullen, "it's almost impossible to separate friends, neighbors and family. We're honored and humbled that so many people look upon the McMullen family and staff as an extension of their own family. It's a compliment-and a deep trust-that we sincerely try to uphold in everything we do. Our life is more than just neighbors helping neighbors, its friends caring for friends every day, all the time, not just in times of need."
