Nancy Garrett Mull

Canton- Nancy Garrett Mull, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 12, 2025, at Skyland Terrace, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family. 

Born on February 9, 1947, in Haywood County, she blossomed into a remarkable woman whose kindness, strength, and gentle spirit touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Nancy graduated from Canton High School in 1965. For 58 wonderful years, she was the devoted wife of Robert D. Mull, forming a partnership that was a true testament to love’s enduring nature. 

As a mother, Nancy found her greatest joy in nurturing her two daughters, Stacey Schulhofer and Shannon Davis. Her home was always filled with laughter and love. 

Landscaping was more than just a hobby for Nancy; it was a passion that she lovingly shared with her husband. She loved being outdoors, embracing the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures it brought her. 

Nancy's legacy continues through her beloved granddaughter, Sydney Schulhofer, and her triplet grandsons, Slade, Scout, and Sam Schulhofer. Each moment with them was a treasure, and she poured her love into their lives in ways that will forever be cherished. 

As a mother, Nancy found her greatest joy in nurturing her two daughters, Stacey Schulhofer and Shannon Davis. Nancy also shared a very special bond with her son-in-law, Scotty Schulhofer. Her home was always filled with laughter and love. 

In addition to her immediate family, Nancy is survived by her two brothers, Gary Garrett (Anne) and Randy Garrett (Debbie Blaylock). She had a special bond with her extended family, including her nephews Greg Owens, Josh Garrett, and Caleb Garrett, and her two great-nephews, Gavin and Gage Owens. Their memories of her warm hugs and infectious laughter will carry on through generations to come.

Nancy was preceded in death by her father, Owen Garrett, and her mother, Ruth Garrett, who lovingly raised her, instilling in her the values that would guide her throughout her life. She was also reunited with her sister, Shirley Owens, brother-in-law, Paul Owens, and her nephew, Jeff Owens (Amie), all of whom are fondly remembered. 

As we celebrate Nancy's life, let us remember her great sense of humor, her love for family, and her unwavering strength. She taught us that life is best lived surrounded by those we hold dear, and she leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to bloom in the hearts of all who had the honor of calling her family and friend. 

A Private Graveside will be held for Mrs. Mull at a later date. 

The care of Mrs. Mull has been entrusted to Wells Funeral Home of Waynesville, where an online memorial register is available and flowers can be sent at "Obituaries" at www.wellsfuneralhome.com.
