Betty Sue Mull, 96, passed away on Friday, March 21, 2025, after several years of declining health and a courageous battle with dementia.
Born on November 13, 1928, in Burke County, she was the daughter of the late Fred and Gladys Baker.
She was a quiet person who enjoyed spending time with her family, playing games, traveling, crocheting and reading. She retired from Drexel Heritage after working many years in the Order Entry department and was a lifelong member of Bethlehem Methodist Church/Christ United Methodist Church in Drexel. Sue thoroughly enjoyed watching the services online in her later years.

Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter Regina (Mike) Murphy, son-in-law Sam Scott, grandchildren Stephanie (Jim) Scott-Gaddy, Brandon (Tonya) Scott, and great grandchildren Addy Jean Scott, Chelsey and James (Cassie) Gaddy along with several great-great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, March 25, from 1 to 2 pm at Heritage Funeral Home. The service will begin at 2 pm officiated by Pastor Cindy Wechter. Burial will follow at Burke Memorial Park mausoleum.

I remember Sue since I was young. She was always very nice to me when I visited with
Regina. I will never forget her kindness. She will always be remembered and be in my heart. I know she will be missed by her family and friends. God bless your family Regina.
My family and I have known Sue’s family for most for my life. I can remember going to visit with Regina at her mom’s. She was always very nice to me when I visited their home. She was a strong woman, and she loved her family. She raised to very wonderful and strong caring daughters and I know she was proud of who they had become in their adult life. God rest her soul and hold her family in your arms during this time.
