Eugene McMullen 1936-2021

Eugene was born Jan. 22, 1936, in Youngstown, to Willie and Addie McMullen.

Eugene “Geno” was a graduate of South High School and Bluffton College. He played several sports, football, track and field, swimming and fencing. He was known for his uncanny ability to stay underwater longer than usual and known as a swim legend. Geno spent many years helping the community as a licensed social worker, retiring once from Ohio BVR, then again from D&E clinic.

He leaves to cherish in his memory, a son, Jamie McMullen of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.; a daughter, Jennifer McMullen of Youngstown: two grandchildren, Hope Williams and J’Lynn Poole; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Mary McMullen; two sisters, Ethel Hollinger and Willa Mae Cole; and a brother, Herman McMullen.
