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.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office on Friday announced an arrest in connection with a November fatal shooting in Augusta.
De’Narian Cobb, 25, of Waynesboro, is charged in connection with the Nov. 21 shooting death of Chavious Kimmerlin, 50, at Kimmerlin’s home in the 500 block of Highland Avenue.
Cobb was found around 7:30 a.m. Dec. 11 at his home in the 500 block of Eighth Street in Waynesboro after Richmond County and Burke County deputies went there to take him in for questioning in connection with the shooting.
During their interview with him, Richmond County investigators said they found enough probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant.
Cobb is currently at the Burke County Detention Center for charges that occurred in that jurisdiction.
Once the judicial process is completed in Burke County, Cobb will be extradited to Richmond County and booked into the Charles B. Webster Detention Center on the charges of murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to Richmond County deputies.
Kimmerlin’s slaying in broad daylight shocked those who lived and worked in the neighborhood.
A woman who works at the Wing Express across the street said the victim had just been there the night before getting food.
“It’s scary out here,” she said. “I just come into work every day and pray I make it back to my car.”
