(Source) Mullins, Nervesta Hollyfield--In much weakness I will try to write an obituary of our beloved sister in hope and Dear Aunt, Nervesta Hollyfield Mullins. She was born January 9, 1902 and departed this life April 20, 1962, making her stay on earth 60 years, 3 months and 11 days. She was the daughter of Jefferson and Dencie Hollyfield. She was married to Charles Mullins about the year 1919 and to this union was born eight children, six daughters and two sons, one son Harlis preceded her in death. She leaves to mourn her passing a lonesome companion, Charles, one son: Edward Wayne Mullins, Alexandria, Va., and six daughters: Faye Hall, Cleveland, Ohio, Juanita Mullins, Alexandria Va., Mildred Sturgill, White Hall, Maryland, Ellouise Pugh, Street, Maryland, Estelle Vanover, Travis A. F. Base, California and Loretta Belcher, Pound, Va., she also leaves six sisters and two brothers, 39 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, a host of friends and neighbors who Miss her on bold Camp and the nieces and nephews who loved her so much. She joined the Old Regular Baptist Church in 1941 and was a faithful member as long as she was able to attend. She was heard to say the month before she died to a sister as she lay in her casket, "Just Sleep on, I feel that I will be with you before long." and we are made to believe by her fruits she is just asleep and waiting summons from on high. The Bible teaches us that by their fruits we shall know them and we know there was never a better person to visit the sick and to try to help when sickness or death came to this neighborhood. I would like to say to this family, my heart goes out to you and that I love every one of you and I feel you have lost the best earthly friend you ever had, but I feel your mother is just resting from her labors and that she is just a step farther along than we are. Remember Mother's advice and if the Spirit bids you pray, kneel down and try because we have a merciful God who is willing and able to bear our burden for us and roll back the clouds when the darkness comes.
