Obituary of Carol J. (Mullins) Foley

Carol Joy (Mullins) Foley, 83, was called home on Friday, April 12, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on Christmas Day in 1940, at home, while the Christmas Carol "Joy to the World" was playing in the background, hence her name, Carol Joy. She was predeceased in death by her first husband, Gerald Mullins in January 1994, after 35 years of marriage and then by her second husband, Donald Foley in January 2022, after 25 years of marriage. Carol was also predeceased in death by her parents, Harry and Betty Feduke, her sister and brother-in-law, Phyllis and Harold Watson and a grandson, Dominick Annunziata. Carol is survived by her children, Patricia (Mullins) Simonis (Kirk), Deborah (Mullins) Hughes (Alan), Kevin (Karen) Mullins, Gerald (Karry) Mullins, Daniel (Lisa) Mullins, Scott (Kelly) Mullins, Eric (Rebecca) Foley and Margaret (Foley) Annunziata (Rick). Carol is survived by 20 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren, with another great grandchild arriving in July. Carol is survived by two brothers and sister-in-laws, Dennis and Kathi Feduke and Ron and Nancy Feduke and a brother-in-law, Edward Mullins. Carol is also survived by several nieces and nephews, too numerous to count. A special thank you to those who gave exceptional care to our mother during this most difficult time. Carol was a devout Catholic, having been a member of St. Paul's and St. James Churches, throughout her adult life, volunteering countless hours. A Funeral Mass will be offered at St. James Church, Main Street, Johnson City, Thursday at 11 a.m. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery, Johnson City, alongside our father, Gerald Mullins.

"A mother's sacrifice is the greatest expression of love, for she puts her children's needs above her own", the true definition of our mother
