We say goodbye to Margy Cecilia Mullen, (Born October 14, 1953, in Eureka, CA and Passed October 13, 2024, in Medford, OR) a beautiful woman who was our sister, aunt and a friend to many. She was a free and independent spirit who explored many interests and paths.She grew up in Crescent City, CA, on her parents’, Pete and Sally’s, small ranch located five miles out of town, adjacent to the majestic redwoods of Jedidiah Smith State Park. Here her passion for riding horses was fostered. She participated in local gymkhanas, competing in 4-H at the Del Norte County Fair, and was known to set off over the hills from Elk Valley on her beautiful Palomino horse – Bonnie – to swim in the Smith River during warm summer days. After graduating from Del Norte High School, Margy moved with her family to Grants Pass, OR and this became her “home-base” for many years.Margy’s many interests led her to work across the Western States: she worked on staff at the Bright Angel Lodge and as a mule wrangler at Phantom Ranch located at the base of the Grand Canyon, then as a wrangler at a dude ranch in the Rocky Mountains, and in Alaska to work in a salmon cannery, later she worked aboard a fishing boat plying the California and Oregon waters.She lived in Port Charlotte, Florida for a several years and spent a year living near Pietrasanta, Italy. Between these many adventures she returned to her home-base, and finally settled down for good in Southern Oregon.As a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, she began teaching gun safety classes required in Oregon and Utah to receive concealed weapon permits. She also traveled extensively as an on-call personal bodyguard for wealthy clients and their families.Margy is survived by sister Candy Bretschneider (Dale), nephew Sean Bretschneider (Keri) and their four children. She was predeceased by her parents Pete and Sally Mullen and her sister Christy Hill (Allan).God Bless you Margy for showing us a unique and more carefree way of exploring life. May you rest in peace. To plant a tree in memory of Margy Mullen as a living tribute, please visit Tribute Store. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
