Born in Hollywood, Florida, Mullen later moved to Wildwood, where she graduated from Wildwood High School in 2003, her obituary says.
Mullen previously worked as a server and was well-known for her incredible ability as a dancer and gymnast, which she started when she was just three years old.
Mullen was also a fierce advocate for animal rescue and adoption, according to a GoFundMe launched for her funeral expenses.
“Everyone that knew her, knew that Jamie was a fierce competitor, a lover of animals, a tremendously thoughtful friend, and her mother's pride and joy,” reads the campaign, which earned nearly $10,000.
Above all, Mullen is remembered for being a caring and passionate mother to her three young children, Braxton, Haven, and Maximus.
In addition to her children, Mullen leaves behind her mother, Barbara Carto of Wildwood; her brothers, Michael Mullen (Erica Mullen) and Joshua Smith (Jordan Holland); nieces, Emma, Everly and Lorelei; nephews, Mason and Declan; uncle Edward Carto (Barbara Milaro) and aunt Rose Mullen, as well as numerous close friends, several of whom shared their grief on social media:
“You were my best friend since grade school,” writes KellyAnn Matthews. “I can’t imagine life without you. I hope you know how much I loved you…”
“You were the kind of friend that went out of your way to show them how much they were loved. You had a heart of gold.”
Mullen’s funeral service was held Thursday, Jan. 27 at Ingersoll-Greenwood Funeral Home on Central Avenue in North Wildwood.
Donations can be made in Mullen’s memory to the Ronald McDonald House in Camden or One Love Animal Rescue.
