Carolyn Mulherin Obituary 2024 – Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors

Carolyn Butler Mulherin died on Saturday November 2nd at the age of 92 peacefully in her home after a brief illness. Carolyn “Mugga” as she was known to her family and friends was born August 21, 1932, in Athens, Georgia to Martie Norris and Boyd Butler. She moved to Augusta, Georgia at a very young age and graduated from Tubman High School. She later worked for the First National Bank of Augusta as a teller and Augusta’s first ‘drive through’ where she met her husband of 55 years Louis Mulherin, Jr.

Carolyn was a devoted wife and mother who served as a volunteer at St. Mary on the Hill Catholic School as a past PTO president, a member of the Hillside Garden Club and the Augusta Country Club. She was a committed member of her faith at St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church. She was also proud to support her husband and her family in their family business, Mulherin Lumber Company. Throughout her life you would mostly find her meeting the needs of her children and grandchildren, and if you were lucky enough making you one of your favorite recipes. Carolyn was known for her grace and beauty and never left a room unnoticed all while disliking the attention. She will be missed by so many who enjoyed her southern way of telling you exactly what she meant and making sure you knew how smart she was. She was a true Steel Magnolia.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband Louis Mulherin, Jr, her sister Ann Butler Murphy and her son in law Robert Scott Watkins. She is survived by her five children, Louis Mulherin III (Rita), Mark Butler Mulherin (Susan), Patricia Mulherin Moss (Ben), Margaret Mulherin Watkins, Elizabeth Mulherin Welsh (Brian); her fourteen grandchildren; her ten great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her devoted companion Robert “Bobby” Alan Baker.

The Mass will be held Tuesday November 5th at 11am at St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church with Father John Lyons, a family cousin, and Father Mark Ross celebrant, visitation to follow in the Parish Hall.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers and food that a memorial contribution be made to St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church,1220 Monte Sano Ave., Augusta, GA. 30904.

34-year-old and 32-year-old ID’d in related Augusta fatal shootings

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Richmond County Coroner has identified two victims after two related shooting incidents in Augusta, we learned on Friday.

The Richmond County Coroner’s Office responded to Wellstar/MCG about a shooting death.

Jeremy Dontavious McGahee, 34, of Augsuta was transported to Wellstar/MCG by EMS from the 2100 block of C Street with at least one gunshot wound, Coroner Mark Bowen said.

He was pronounced dead at 8:28 p.m., Bowen says. An autopsy has been scheduled.

The Coroner’s Office also responded to the 2100 block of C Street about a possible suicide.

Zyquan Jamarcus Franklin, 32, of Augusta, was found inside a residence with at least one gunshot wound and pronounced dead on the scene at 12:15 a.m. Bowen said. An autopsy has been scheduled.

Bowen says these cases are connected and in the early stages of investigation. Once the next of kin has been notified, the victim’s identification will be released.

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to C Street around 9:34 p.m. about shots fired with two people down.

Deputies say upon arrival, they located one male and one female subject who had been shot at least one time.

Both victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment, where the male victim succumbed to his injuries.

The sheriff’s office says investigators are still on scene as of 11 p.m.

Also on Thursday, 50-year-old Chavious Kimmerlin was shot dead in his home on Highland Avenue.

The shooting comes amid a two-year outbreak of violent crime that’s claimed more than 180 lives across the CSRA.

Cities large and small have been affected on both sides of the Savannah River. But as the largest community in the region, Augusta has been hit especially hard.

Authorities have blamed much of the problem on gangs.
