Gadsden, AL

Patrinka Juanita Mulkey, lovingly known as PJ, of Gadsden, AL, passed away peacefully on August 4th, 2025. She was born in Piedmont, AL on July 11th, 1955, to the late Franklin D. Bowen and Jewell I. Bowen.

PJ was a devoted mother, cherished Nunna, and beloved sister. She poured her heart into her family, and nothing brought her more joy than cooking for the people she loved. Her warmth, laughter, and strength touched the lives of everyone who knew her.

She is survived by her three children: Karry Beck (Billy), Christina Mulkey, and Page Mulkey (Lisa); her six grandchildren: Jacob Bryant (Courtney), Kimberly Bryant, Alana Mulkey (Lucas), Grayson Dayton, and Zaren Mulkey; and seven great-grandchildren who were the light of her life.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in PJ’s memory to a charity of your choice.
