Barbara Margaret Mulherin

d. November 14, 2011

AUGUSTA – Ms. Barbara Margaret Mulherin, 50, daughter of Brian J. Mulherin and the late June Nichols Mulherin, entered into rest on Monday, November 14, 2011 at her residence.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 11:00 AM at St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Westover Memorial Park.

Barbara, a native Augustan, attended St. Mary Elementary and Langford Middle School, before graduating from Richmond Academy. After attending Augusta Technical College, where she became a licensed practical nurse, she went on to graduate from the Medical College of Georgia with a Bachelor’s Degree, Beta Cum Laude, in nursing. She was proud of her membership in the Sigma Theta Tau Honors Society.

Shortly after beginning her career in nursing at the Medical College of Georgia Emergency Room, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and other problems that curtailed her dream of a nursing career. Her disabilities did not stop her volunteer individual and group assistance to others with MS and addiction problems. She helped many and many helped her.

Barbara is survived by her loving father and step mother, Brian J. and Neita H. Mulherin, her sisters, Nancy (David) Bachelder of Hilton Head, Kathy (Michael) Carroll of Lanai, Hawaii, her brothers, Brian (Cathy) Mulherin Jr., of Tallahassee, Florida, and Thomas (Vicki) Mulherin of Evans. When Brian Married Neita, Barbara gained three additional sisters, Anita (Dean) Shackelford of Gulf Breeze, Florida, Mary Ruth (Hugh) Hamilton of Augusta, Andrea (Clifford) Carey of Augusta, as well as a brother, Richard (Paige) Hill of Atlanta. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Barbara’s older sister, Jeanie, died on Christmas Eve, 1998.

The family thanks the wonderful caregivers who gave Barbara such wonderful and professional care.

If so desired, memorials may be made to the Mercy Ministries Inc. of Augusta, 1621 15th Street, Augusta, GA., 30901 or to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 1117 Perimeter Center West, Suite E101, Atlanta, Georgia, 30338.

There will be a Vigil for the Deceased at 6:00 PM on wednesday evening, November 16, 2011 at the funeral home, after which, the family will receive friends until 8:30pm.
