 Honoring a Legacy of Giving

The McMullin Family Endowment was created to celebrate and honor the charitable legacy of Roger and Mary McMullin. Lifelong volunteers and supporters of local charities, Roger and Mary dedicated their lives to uplifting their community, particularly through efforts aimed at eliminating hunger and poverty.

This fund continues their commitment by supporting residents and organizations in Worth County, ensuring that their spirit of generosity lives on for generations to come.

A Legacy Rooted in Worth County

Roger McMullin, the son of Norvel and Ruth McMullin and a proud native of Hanlontown, Iowa, graduated from Hanlontown High School in 1954, Waldorf College in 1956, and the University of Iowa in 1958. A talented journalist and award-winning photographer, Roger carried a deep connection to his roots in Worth County throughout his life.

“Roger was proud of his roots in Worth County, and this fund is designed to support the community he loved,” said Sarah Swinford, daughter of Roger and Mary. 

“Our parents were always quietly volunteering and supporting local charities and their church, and we are delighted to be able to create a lasting legacy to honor their years of service,” mentioned Rachel McMullin, daughter of Roger and Mary. 

Through the McMullin Family Endowment, Roger and Mary’s legacy of compassion, service, and generosity will continue to make a difference in Worth County for years to come.
