Dora H. Mullins, age 61, of Mt. Carmel, Illinois, passed away Tuesday, August 26, 2025, in Evansville, Indiana. She was born September 24, 1963, in Bedford, Indiana, the daughter of Bill and Rita Cobb of Lawrenceville, Illinois. She was preceded in death by her late husband, Tom Hedge.
In her earlier years, Dora dedicated herself to caring for others as a CNA at various nursing homes. Nothing in Dora’s life brought her more joy than being a Mother and a “Grammy” to her beloved grandbabies, those she cherished above all else. Hannah (her Nanners) will always treasure the fun they had watching scary movies and the special times they shared getting their nails done, creating memories filled with laughter and love. Shain (her Shaino-Macaroni-Noodle) treasured the times he spent taking her grocery shopping and playfully teasing her about being a ‘dinosaur,’ a lighthearted joke that spoke volumes about their relationship. Tasha (her Rookie) will forever hold the memory of her Mother, who was not only her Mother but also her best friend through thick and thin. She will deeply miss their daily conversations over the phone and the countless family get-togethers they had together.
Preceding Dora in death were her Father, William Cobb; Grandchild, Brian Fuller; Nephew, Little Pablo Valadez.
Survivors include: Children, Michael Edborg of Lawrenceville, Rita (Dylan)Webb of Chauncey, and Tasha (Justin) Sayge of Mt. Carmel; closest sister, Erika Valadez and many other brothers and sisters; grandbabies, Shain (Hailey), Hannah (Peter), Brooke, Brelee (Levi) and Kirsten; three great-grandchildren; and special friend, Greg Hughes.
