Norman R. Mullen

Norman R. Mullen passed away at home on Sunday, May 14, 2023 after an extended illness. Norm was born on May 6, 1949 in Bakersfield, California.  He was a former marine serving his country in the Vietnam War from 1966 – 1970.  On his return home from the war, Norm followed his passion and became an over-the-road long haul truck driver for over 45 years.  In addition, he raced stock cars and was a horse jockey for a local race horse stable.  In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, hunting and many other outdoor recreational activities.  Much to his daughter’s dismay, Norm was a loyal fan of the Cleveland Browns.  Norm enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and watching them grow as sports fanatics themselves. Norm will be remembered as a selfless individual who was always willing to lend a hand to others in need.

Norm was preceded in death by his adoptive parents Robert M. Mullen and Irene G. Mullen.  He is survived by his spouse, Daunett Mullen; former spouse, Barbara Mullen and their daughter Alverta Mullen; daughters, Vickie Crabb and Marsha Mullen; and sons, Norman Mullen, Jr, and Timothy Mullen.  Norm is also survived by 18 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. 

Cremation has taken place at Cassaday-Turkle-Christian Funeral and Cremation Service in Alliance, OH.  At Norm’s request, there will be no visitation or public arrangements.  A memorial service will be held at a later date.  Interment will take place at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Seville, OH.
