Betty Lou McMullin, age 80 of Melbourne, Florida passed away early Saturday morning July 18, 2020 at her assisted living home “Generations on the Beach” after a long illness. Betty Lou was born on January 26th, 1940 in the Walnut Community outside Clarksdale, MS. Betty was preceded in death by her parents Clifton Oliver Hardy and Bernice Byars Hardy and her high school sweetheart Nicky Van McMullin also of Melbourne.

Betty Lou also leaves behind decades of long lasting relationships with multiple families and friends as a lifelong resident of Melbourne. She will be greatly missed and always remembered by those who entered her home.

Mrs. McMullin was a beautiful classy woman, that was very passionate about her husband and her boys. I have fond memories of the McMullin family from First Baptist of Melbourne. Peace and prayers for your family.

Mrs McMullin raised a couple of awesome sons and had the biggest smile every time we came to visit. She loved people and really loved all the kids that stopped by. Never ever did you see her without that smile.
