It is with great sadness that the family of Anne Marie Mullen , 77, announce her passing on Wed. Dec 1, 2021. She died unexpectedly due to a short illness. Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late Charles Kunz and Anne Bradley. She graduated from St Pius X Catholic High School in 1962.
Prior to starting her family, she worked for a brief time at Harleysville Insurance. She dedicated many years of her life to not only raising her own children but also caring for others’ children as an in-home daycare provider. Anne Marie also worked as a Mary Kay consultant, a role which allowed her to learn about empowering women, being a leader, and ultimately achieving the top honor of earning the Mary Kay car. Later in life, Anne Marie was employed at Gwynedd Mercy College, where she worked for 25 years.
She was married for 41 years to her beloved late husband, Edward R Mullen, who she met at a St. Marie Club dance in Lansdale. Surviving are her five children, Andrea Laing and her husband, Justin, of Gilbertsville; Dana Blazo and her husband, Michael, of Schwensksville; Edward Mullen and his wife, Jennifer, of Lansdale; Michele Swavely and her husband, Jacob, of Lansdale; Kevin Mullen of Lansdale; ten grandchildren, Gabriel, Michael, Savannah, Christopher, Matthew, Mallory, Audrey, Josiah, Timothy, Lydia; brothers; Gerard Kunz and Lynne of Mantua, NJ; Daniel Kunz and his wife, Lois of Harleysville; Raymond of Pottstown; sisters; Eileen Beaty of Pottstown; Rosemary Graves of Pleasantville, NJ; Loretta Parson and her husband, Ty of Elverson. She was preceded in death by her baby boy, Justin in 1984; her baby sister, Bernadette; and brothers Charles and Michael Kunz.
Anne Marie was an avid skier for many winter weekends. She enjoyed ballroom and Irish dancing, camping, and traveling the country and the world. She was well-loved by many – once a friend of Anne Marie, always a friend.
