Mr Mullins was an elder at Florence Church of Christ, where he worshipped all of his life. He worked beside his father and later owned Mullins Jewelers on the Square in Murfreesboro.  He had a lifelong love of aviation, and enjoyed building and flying model airplanes with the Murfreesboro Skyhawks.  Charlie was proud to serve his community for several years as president of the Lions Club.  His most treasured roles, however, were those of husband to the love of his life, Charlene; Father to Jeff, Tim, and Kathy; and PawPaw to Erin, Jackson, Abby, Max and Charlie.  He had a gentle spirit and exemplified kindness to everyone he met. There was never a greeting without a smile.  Throughout his trials in the last years of his life, he never complained and remained firm in his trust in the Lord.
