Mullis, Josephine It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, gramma, sister and aunt, Jo Mullis , predeceased by her beloved husband of 50 years Frank. She was born on June 5, 1926 in Kandahar Saskatchewan, to Jon Bjorgvin and Gudbjorg (Johnson), Vopni, the youngest of 3 daughters.

While there she met a young sailor, just back from the war, Frank Mullis. She said "He danced his way into my heart". They were married in Kandahar on June 5, 1946. Prince Albert became home for their two fine sons and friends galore. In 1974, Frank and Jo transferred to the Livestock Pool in Moose Jaw, where they both worked until their retirement, mom in 1986 and Dad in 1990.
