1943-2026
Lovella Louise (Crowe)Mullen died peacefully on May 20, 2026 at Schowalter Villa.
Lovella, or Sissy as she was affectionally known by her cousins and family, was born on June 20, 1943 in Tahlequah Oklahoma. She was the first-born child of Johnnie Douglas Crowe and Marie Louise Griffith Crowe.
Lovella grew up in Great Bend, Kansas and attended K-12 in the Great Bend school system, graduating from Great Bend High School in 1961.
She married Robert (Bob) Mullen on August 19, 1962. They had two children, Sharenne and Kevin. Lovella was crazy in love with her grandchildren, Tobey Mullen, Danielle Harris, and Trevor Mullen. Her grandchildren were the lights of her life until her two great-grands were born, Greyson Mullen and Evan Harris. She told many stories of her great-grandkids and loved visiting with them as often as possible. She loved to play cards and games and really liked to win! Lovella was an avid Chiefs fan and watched every game wearing her Patrick Mahomes jersey!
Lovella was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Brenda Crowe and Peggy Crowe; and brother, Doug Crowe.
She is survived by daughter, Sharenne Lohrenz (Dwight) of Moundridge, Kansas; son, Kevin Mullen (Denise) of Salina, Kansas; grandchildren, Tobey Mullen of Salina, Danielle Harris (Ben) of Salina, and Trevor Mullen of Burrton; and great-grandchildren, Greyson Mullen and Evan Harris.
Her sassy spirit will never be forgotten and she will be missed by all of us. Lovella‘s family was so thankful for the care she received at Schowalter Villa.
Cremation has taken place and a graveside service will be held 2:00 p.m., Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Great Bend Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Schowalter Villa, in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, PO Box 32, Hesston, KS 67062.
