If ever there was a loving wife, parent and grandmother it was Carman. She loved them all with her whole heart. She was always so proud of her loved ones. She always said what a kind man Richard was that God has given her to love. Her hobbies were dancing, piano, oil painting, cooking, and entertaining. When Carman walked into a room with a smile on her face, you knew you would have a good laugh before she left. Her special friend was Shirley Goodman who was like a sister to her.
She was preceded in death by her father, mother and brother Jack Mullen.
The family of Carman N. Mullen Boland is being served by the Moran & Goebel Funeral Home, 2801 N. Monroe St. Decatur.
