Ann Mullen — a slight, bespectacled octogenarian — was a familiar sight to lots of folks in Belfast, as she spent countless hours working to make the gardens at Post Office Square and Grove Cemetery a little more beautiful. Mullen, 85, died earlier this week of a chronic heart condition, shortly after surmounting COVID-19. Mullen, who came to Belfast as a 70-year-old retiree, used some of her energy to leave her mark on the city. As she planted, weeded, watered and nurtured flowers and trees to make Belfast’s public spaces more colorful and vibrant, her efforts helped nurture the community.
