D. Ray Mullet
BURTON – D. Ray Mullet, age 80, of Burton, went to be with the Our Lord and his loving wife on Sunday, July 10, 2016.
He was born Feb. 18, 1936, in Burton, to the late Eli E. and Emma (nee Yoder) Mullet.
Ray was a pastor for 41 years at Maple View Church and a chaplain for Hospice of Care Corp.
He worked for Berkshire Schools Board of Education for 30 years.
He enjoyed golfing, fishing and traveling with family.
D. Ray was a soft spoken minister who loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing the Word. He had a caring, humble, warm heart and also enjoyed humor. He sometimes used amusing jest that defused the tense situation at a given time.
He treated people with respect and he invested his life into the life and welfare of others. He especially loved and cared about his family.
I do believe that D. Ray had an aura around him, that anyone who met him, enjoyed being around him.
He will be missed dearly by his loving children, Robert Mullet, of Middlefield, David (Barb) Mullet Jr., of Burton, and Deborah Mullet, of Fairport Harbor; grandchildren, Mary Elizabeth (Richard) Larson, Amberlee Mullet, Michael Polson, Jacob (Mia Thompson) Mullet, Esther Polson and Sara Mullet; and great-grandsons, Xavier and Jude.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Mary E. (nee Yutzy) Mullet, who passed away on April 30, 2014; parents; brothers, Lee Mullet and Robert Mullet; and sisters, Barbara Butler, Ida Miller, Mahaha Detweiler and Sara Humphries.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 10:30 a.m. July 14 at Maple View Mennonite Church, 14890 Burton Windsor Road, Burton. Pastor Andre Thornton and Pastor Mick Maschek will officiate.
Visitation is 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. July 13 at the church.
Burial will be at Maple View Cemetery.
