Jessica helped us through our fertility struggles and through our first pregnancy. When I had my miscarriage, she listened to me sob on the phone and comforted me, reminding me this was a mere step in our journey. I watched her grow from a new MD in a new practice into a confident, experienced woman who had seen and helped so many. Jessica, thank you for your attention, care and concern to so many in your life. I will take your example with me.

Our work family of physicians and nurses mourn the loss of a wondeful colleague. Jessica was professional and compassionate. I am saddened by the fact I can't watch a young colleague grow her practice. It was hard to watch her retire early from her practice, especially when I had more than 25 wonderful years to practice at Candler, grow a family and find community in Savannah. We pray for Pat and Jessica's family. She expressed to me that she wasn't well liked at work--too serious. Her fears were far from the truth. She was loved.

I was lucky enough to work with Dr. Mullinix as a nurse at Candler. She was incredibly kind and caring to her patients. She was always an advocate for them. As a coworker she always had me laughing and I would always get excited to take care of her patients knowing that they had the best of the best taking care of them. I am so incredibly sorry for y’all’s loss.

- Rebecca Duncan, Savannah, Ga

SO very sorry to hear this news. :( Prayers for ALL who are touched by this loss. Sincere and heartfelt condolences!!

- Mike Hartley, Macon, GA

Dr. Mullinix was the epitome of grace and strength under fire as she worked right on through her treatments with us at Candler OR. She was such a bright light with an amazing attitude in spite of her challenges and will be dearly missed. Many prayers for comfort and peace for the family in the coming days~

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Jessica and Pat when we relocated to Savannah in 2020. Trey began his radiology residency working alongside Pat, while I helped Jessica deliver babies at Candler as a labor & delivery nurse. Jessica fought her cancer diagnosis with tenacity. She was one of the hardest working and most determined women I have ever met. Despite her long battle with breast cancer, Jessica remained a source of encouragement for her patients. She would push with her patients for hours, continually offering words of praise and encouragement. On mom’s final push, Jessica’s face would light up as she gracefully guided another baby into the world. With a baby in her arms, and excitement in her voice, she would yell “Happy Birthday!”. She would eagerly place the baby in mom’s arms and wipe away what she called “birthday frosting” from the crying newborn’s body. Jessica had rare and beautiful talent for making every delivery feel like a true celebration. I have a hundred beautiful memories like this one, that will live in my mind forever. She was very special, greatly admired, and deeply loved Sara Mitchell

I worked with Dr Mullinix at Candler for four years. She was an excellent physician both in skill and in compassionate care. She was loved by patients and staff. She was so strong and brave up there helping to welcome babies into the world while battling cancer. I am so lucky to have worked with her

- Tracy Storey , Savannah , GA

Jessica was the most supportive OBGYN I have ever had in my life. My husband and I could not have asked for a sweeter, more caring doctor to help bring our child into this world, I will always remember her and be grateful to her. She was such a good soul and gone far too soon. Our thoughts go out to her husband and her family, she will be dearly missed.

- Rob and Amber LeMaster, Pooler, GA

Words are inadequate to express the profound sadness of losing such an incredibly young, bright physician with so much life and potential ahead of her. I had only gotten to work with her a couple of times in labor and delivery but her caring demeanor with the patients was evident and consistent. I can only imagine the heartbreak of those who knew her well and loved her most. My condolences to her family. May wonderful memories of her bring you comfort.

- Lori Hecker, Savannah, Ga

As a physician assistant student, I had the absolute honor of having Dr. Jessica Mullinix as my preceptor for my Women's Health rotation. I couldn't have asked for a better example to learn from. I admired Dr. Mullinix from the moment I met her through her mother when I was working an employee at SJCHS a few years ago when Dr. Mullinix first started practicing in Savannah. She was so focused and intelligent, yet so kind and humble. As a student, I was blessed to see her interactions with the patients she so cared for and whose well-being she was determined to protect with her knowledge of medicine. During my rotation is when Dr. Mullinix's world turned upside down, yet she still in a very stoic manner continued to serve her patients and fulfill her obligation to them. The memory of her and my time with her is something I will never forget or stop learning from. Her parents raised an incredible human being and this passing at such a young age is a devastating loss not only for the family and friends, but for Savannah.

- Anna Statler, Savannah, GA

When Jessica became my doctor, I knew from that day I was going to have a great relationship with her. She was the most caring doctor I've ever had. Every visit I looked forward to seeing her smile, hear her laughter and our talks. She was such a wonderful person and doctor, and I will miss her. My heart and prayers go out to her husband and family.

- Letitia Pristell, Pooler, GA

I feel so honored that I was able to be under the care of Dr. Mullinix. She was always so thorough explaining procedures and expectations. I felt she truly listened to my concerns. A piece of her will live on in every patient that she cared for and every precious life she delivered ❤️

- Kate Brooker Motlagh, Savannah, Georgia

I will forever be grateful for Dr. Mullinix. She helped me through my first pregnancy which turned out to be high risk and she safely delivered my son. She was very reassuring, honest, and had such a calming presence. I am heartbroken to hear about her cancer battle and the news of her passing. Prayers to her family and may she rest in peace.

- Jasmine Kirkland, Springfield, Ga

I never had the honor to meet Jessica, but I am friends with her Dad. I am praying for peace and comfort for all. From reading all that has been written about her, I really missed out on a very special lady. It's obvious that her parents really did a special blessing for humanity when they raised her.

- Lewis Strickland, Waverly, Georgia

Judy and Julian, I am saddened beyond belief that the baby girl whom I held in my arms when she was a only a week or two old has been taken from you. Jessica was a beautiful baby and a beautiful young woman. She accomplished much in her young life and obviously helped numerous people. The tributes from so many are a testament to her loving and caring nature. She was taken from this world much too soon. God bless you both and her beloved brother, Jordan, along with her husband and the rest of the family. Praying for all of you.

- Andra Conley Eanes, Bristol (formerly of Augusta), VA

Dr. Jessica Mullinix was our doctor for our daughter. She did everything in here power to make us feel comfortable and safe. I remember when I was trying to give birth and was struggling, she was limited in what she could say but guided us in the right direction. Still remember her smiling while calmly explaining our options and when we made our choice did everything quickly, safely and never made us feel guilty. She will always be in our hearts.

- Zhou Shan, Pooler, GA

I am absolutely heartbroken over the loss of Dr. Mullinix. She delivered both of my children, and was always there with a listening ear and supportive shoulder (and quick joke to calm my anxiety). She wouldn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, but would tell me what I needed to hear, which I found invaluable. She would reassure me that I wasn’t crazy, and indulge all of our questions with brutally honest, thoughtful answers. Our appointments, and even both deliveries, were filled with laughter and her encouraging words (“you got this”, “you are so strong, you can do it”, “I’m right here”, “it’ll be fine, I promise”). It is unfair that she worked so hard and brought so much life to the world, literally and figuratively, to only have hers be so short. I told her often how much I appreciated her, and I know everyone she worked with and helped felt the same. She has made a huge impact on our lives, and we are only a fraction of the lives she has changed. I’m lucky to have known her, even luckier to have had been under her care, and luckiest for having her there to bring my two kids into the world. It’s a better place now because she was here.

When the big day came, I ended up needing an emergency C section Jessica was so calm and reassuring that everything was going to be fine. Thanks to her being honest with us about our options and what needed to happen, we are forever grateful as we have the happiest little boy. We are so sorry for your loss.

I am so sad to hear the news of Jessica’s passing. She and I rode horses together at Reynolds Farm. She was the cool high schooler at the barn that I always looked up to! I have so many wonderful memories of her in the riding ring with her horse Addie. Thinking of her family in this terrible time.

Andrew and I met Jessica and Pat our very first weekend in Virginia and shared many adventures through the first year of adjusting to Navy life and continued to Pensacola and sharing too many bushwhackers, whenever she would visit. She was one of my favorite Navy spouses I met that year. A couple of years later and a different duty station, Andrew and I found ourselves evacuating NC for hurricane Florence. Jess immediately reached out to us when she saw we were in Savannah and spent the whole weekend hosting, visiting and keeping our minds off of what could be happening at home. We shared a love of horses and could always easily escape the constant military and physician conversation with her to the thrilling feeling of being in a saddle (and a couple a sarcastic comments about military spouse life). Jess was a wonderful spouse, physician, and friend. We were so fortunate to have met her and Pat and call them our friends. Her outgoing spirit and great smile will always be in my memory. May so many bright memories of those she touched bring you smiles in a difficult time. Much love.

Dr. Mullinix was not only an excellent doctor, but a wonderful and vibrant person as well. I only knew her as a patient, but I can attest to her incredible level of care and comforting presence. As a transgender man, going to an OBGYN is a frightening and uncomfortable experience, and I frequently fear discrimination or refusal to be seen. I never once felt that way with Dr. Mullinix. I am devastated by her loss, as many are. The world is truly a brighter place for having had her in it, and I wish her family and friends all the best.

I met Jessica as her patient in 2019 when I was pregnant with my first born. She made me feel so comfortable and safe. She was so knowledgeable and I could tell helping people was her passion. She helped bring our greatest blessings in the world while fighting a battle herself. I am forever grateful that I got the pleasure to have Dr. Jessica as my doctor. I’m so sorry for your loss. I pray you find comfort and peace in these times.
