Bertha Williams Mullen was called Home on January 22nd 2021. Mrs. Bertha Mullen affectionately known as “Mother” was born to the late George and Mariah Williams, on September 26, 1919 in Elizabeth City, NC.

Her motto “was to be on time” and she would arrive to work 1 hour before her scheduled shift. Her favorite hobby was getting up early in the morning and working in her yard. On any given day you would pass by Deep Creek Boulevard and look over to Piedmont Avenue and see her pulling up the grass and planting flowers in her beloved yard. When she was not working in the yard, you could find her watching sports, the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Football Team were her favorite Baseball and Football Teams.
Bertha was honored by family and friends in a celebration attended by many from far and near in reaching a 100th milestone. A Proclamation from the Mayor and the City of Portsmouth was presented and September 28, 2019 was hereby proclaimed as “Mrs. Bertha Mullen’s 100th Birthday Celebration Day.
