Obituary

Amber Michelle Mullins, 32, of Plano, Texas, passed away on Thursday, October 23, 2014 after a brief illness.

Born in Clinton, Maryland on May 10, 1982, to parents Jon Warren and Holly Grace Mullins, Amber graduated from Plano East Senior High School in 2000.  She worked in various professions through the years, but no matter what she was doing, she never let her passion for helping others fade.  She cared for those around her with love and gentleness, and she never turned away any in need—not even stray animals.  The love she showed to her dog, cats, and even a turtle was incredible.  In her spare time, she was an exceptional artist, particularly with watercolors.

She is survived by her parents, Jon and Holly, her grandmother, Hope Vayro, her brother, Perry Mullins, her boyfriend, Mike Ruffalo, and his family.  A requiem Mass will be held on Thursday, October 30th at 11:00am at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church, 2200 18th St., Plano, Texas 75074.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Amber’s honor to Operation Kindness, 3201 Earhart Drive, Carrollton, Texas 75006.

Arrangements are under the direction of

ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home
19310 Preston Road
Dallas, Texas 75252

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Amber for a few years at Little Gus Cafe. Her smile always radiated through the restaurant. She will be missed.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
