Virginia Mulé

Virginia Mulé passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Feb 23rd at the age of 93. She is survived by her daughter Marcia and son Joseph, and their respective families, daughters-n-law, Jeanine and Sharon and cherished by her five grandchildren Eva, Vincent, Sara, Maya, and Gianna. A native of Hamilton, Ontario, she married Vincent J. Mulé of Buffalo and raised their two children in Williamsville, NY. Vincent passed away in 1989 and 11 years later she relocated to Maryland to participate in her grandchildren’s lives. She was diagnosed with dementia in her mid 80’s and spent the last three years living in her son’s home where he and his wife Sharon lovingly cared for her. She entered a memory care unit this past January and was in hospice care in her final days. All of her family members were able to be with her for support. Virginia was a beloved and cherished wife and mother. She was talented in so many ways and there was nothing she couldn’t accomplish. She was a housewife with flair, an amazing cook and made every occasion special; from fancy holiday dinners to her monthly ‘ladies only’ cocktail parties. She was a talented seamstress, china painter and all out creative force and once her children were teenagers she became a realtor reaching $1M in sales her first year out. In Buffalo, in that era, that’s a lot of houses! She was a woman ahead of her time. As a single woman in the 1950’s, she owned her own beauty salon in Hamilton, Ontario called ‘Corkys’ at a time when few women were entrepreneurs. She had a talent for designing extravagant and elegant fashions that she would sketch out on paper and later materialize into her own wardrobe. She even created a few wedding gowns for daughters of friends, including her own daughter-n-law. She loved her mother country, Canada and remained a citizen for her entire life. She stayed connected to her strong Armenian roots and culture. Her parents were survivors of the Armenian Genocide and she always kept their stories alive. She always encouraged her children to reach for the stars and she will be remembered by so many who called her a true friend. The family plans a memorial service in Buffalo in the near future and requests that any donations kindly be made to Meals on Wheels America.
