Virginia “Diesel” Mulkey

Virginia “Diesel” (Davis) Moses Mulkey, age 80 years, 7 months, 15 days departed this life to be with the Lord on May 14, 2024 at her home surrounded by her family and friends.
She was born September 29, 1943 in Whitley County, Kentucky to the late John Davis and Bertha (Bryant) Davis.
In addition to her parents, Virginia is preceded in death by her husband, Donald Mulkey; brothers, Grover, Frank, and James Davis; sisters, Nora Davis, and Nell Davis Haney; grandchildren, Evan Swain, Matthew Bryant, and Jessica Roberts; and a great-grandchild, “Baby Duncan”.

Virginia was a jack of all trades. She had worked as a Diesel Mechanic, a CNA, and a Florist, all in the past time. In the latter part of her life, she settled down to be a homemaker and enjoyed setting up her camper with her husband. Virginia enjoyed being with her family, having cookouts, and playing her poker machine. Life was never boring and a smile was always to be found when she was around. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
