Tye is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 30 years, Charles Donald "Duck" Mullikin, of Hyattsville, MD. Her 10 siblings (their spouses): Aleta (Bob) Keck of Littlestown, PA; Kent (Sandy) Buzard of Brockport, PA; Greg (Michele) Buzard of Middletown, MD; Corinne (John) Dixon of Beaverdam, VA; Todd (Janie) Buzard of Mechanicsburg, PA; Rodney (Lori) Buzard of Limestone, PA; Brent Buzard of Seattle, WA; Eric (Dawn) Buzard of Sligo, PA; Wydell Buzard of Thurmont, MD; and Wayland (Lisa) Buzard of Slippery Rock, PA, all mourn her passing. Duck's brother, John Mullikin, also survives. Many nieces and nephews will miss Aunt Tye dearly. Her niece, Andrea, and her nephews, Kenny and Keith Buzard, were under Uncle Duck and Aunt Tye's nurturing care for nearly a decade.
Preceding Tye in death were her parents, Alta and Keith Buzard of Sligo PA, her twin brothers, Timothy and Anthony Buzard, her nieces, Deanna Keck Tillery and Christina Buzard Delia, and her nephew, Michael Todd Buzard.
In 1981 Tye graduated from Union High School in Rimersburg, PA. She was a member of the National Honor Society, recipient of the outstanding senior in history award, president of her senior class, participated in track and field, and a member of the quick quiz team. She received her Bachelor of Nursing degree from Penn State University and her Masters of Science in Nursing Education from the Catholic University of America. She was a member of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) and the American Nursing Association (ANA). She served as Vice President of the district five chapter of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS).
Tye spent her 30-year nursing career at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland as the clinical nurse educator on the cancer floor. Doctors, nurses and her patients held Nurse Mullikin in the very highest regard. In 2014, Tye was honored with the NIH Lifetime Achievement Award.
Mentoring girls and boys at the Washington, D.C. Navy Yard was her passion. Ensign Tye Mullikin volunteered as unit medical and supply officer and was the unit champion for community service at the Mooberry Division of the U.S. Navy Sea Cadets. The USNSCC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization established by Congress and sponsored by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, consisting of youth and adult volunteers who commit to an average of two training weekends each month.
In her leisure time Tye was a member of the University Park Women's Club of Hyattsville, MD and the Pine Tree Associates Club of Crownsville, MD and a member of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR).
Her family, many friends and co-workers will forever remember Tye for her generosity, devotion, loyalty, singing, giggling and always looking at the sunny side of life. It's no wonder she was voted the friendliest person in her senior high school class.
Please join her family in a joyous celebration of her life at the University Christian Church, 6800 Adelphi Rd, Hyattsville, MD 20782, on Saturday October 10 at 12:00 noon. The family asks that you please consider giving a charitable donation to: U.S. Navy Sea Cadets, Mooberry Division, C/O Elliott, 7391 Roxbury Ave, Manassas, VA 20109 in memory of Tye Mullikin.
