Elizabeth Michelle Mullins

Elizabeth Michelle Mullins, age 35, of LaPorte, Indiana, passed away on Sunday morning, October 18, 2026, at Northwest Hospital in LaPorte.

Affectionately known as “Liz” to those who knew and loved her, she was born on February 25, 1991, in LaPorte, Indiana, to the late Farlene Mullins. From an early age, Liz was surrounded by the unconditional love and devotion of her grandparents, Farley and Hazel Mullins, who played a special role in raising her. She grew up in LaPorte, where she attended local schools and made friendships and memories that would remain part of her life's story.

Of all the roles Liz held throughout her life, none brought her greater happiness or deeper purpose than being a mother. Her five beautiful children were truly the center of her world, her greatest blessings, and the very heart of everything she did. Liz absolutely loved being a mom, and her love for her children was evident in the countless little ways she cared for them each day. She was the ultimate “girl mom,” always making sure her daughters had their hair done and looked their very best before leaving the house. Those everyday moments of brushing hair, getting everyone ready, and tending to the little details were more than just routines; they were expressions of a mother's love. Her children were her pride and joy, and nothing meant more to her than being their mom.

Liz had a fun-loving, feminine side and enjoyed the simple pleasures that brought a little extra beauty and happiness into her days. She loved doing her nails and especially enjoyed treating herself to having them professionally done. She was also an enthusiastic collector of angels and figurines from The Nightmare Before Christmas, a collection that reflected her unique personality and the things that made her smile. Christmas held an especially dear place in Liz's heart. She loved the magic, excitement, and joy of the holiday season, particularly the special memories and traditions that could be shared with her children.

Liz leaves behind her husband, Joe Brown; her five beloved children, Brooklyn Mullins, Parker Mullins, Eve Mullins, Gracelynn Brown, and Faith Brown; her grandfather, Farley Mullins; her sister, Emily Byrd; and many cousins, extended family members, and cherished friends who will forever hold her memory close.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Farlene Mullins and her grandmother, Hazel Stacy Mullins.

A Celebration of Life honoring Liz will be held on Monday, October 26, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services in LaPorte, Indiana.

Burial will be private.

Although Liz's time on earth was far too short, the love she poured into her family will remain a lasting part of her legacy. She will be remembered for the devotion she had for her children, the little things that brought her happiness, and the special place she held in the hearts of those who loved her. Her greatest accomplishment was not measured by possessions or achievements, but by the five precious lives she brought into this world and loved with all her heart. While her children must now navigate life without her physical presence, they will forever carry the gift of her love, a bond that neither time nor distance can ever take away. Liz's story will continue through them, in their smiles, their memories, and the countless ways a mother's love lives on.
