Ever Close in Mind and Heart No further away than a picture, a smile, or remembered phrase,
Our loved ones live in memory ... So close in so many ways. For how often does a sunset bring nostalgic thoughts to mind Of moments that our loved ones shared in days now left behind!
How often has a flower or a crystal autumn sky Brought golden recollections of happy days gone by! Yes, memory has a magic way ofkeeping loved ones near Ever close in mind and heart are the ones we hold most dear.

The Reverend Matthew Roberts, Pastor Officiating
Mrs. Kathaleen (Katt) Juanita Echols, an only child, was born in Lexington , Georgia on July 7, 1920 to the late Mr. Willie Anderson and Mrs. Irene Williams (Anderson) Jewell (stepfather, the late Mr. Berry Jewell).
Mrs. Echols was a longtime member of the H. I. Bearden Temple where she served faithfully until her health began to decline. Mrs. Echols was a member of the Usher Board where she served as President for a number of years. She also made corsages for various auxiliaries of the church when needed. She was very talented in arts and crafts. She made dolls, stuffed animals, purses, etc.
Mrs. Echols was educated in the Lexington, Georgia school system. She was a firm believer in getting a good education, and she always encouraged everyone to "get your lesson and pay attention in class!"
On December 14, 1946, Mrs. Echols was united in holy matrimony to the late Mr. Willie Edd Echols where they enjoyed over fifty-nine years of marital bliss. They raised two loving sons, Mr. Eddie Echols and Mr. Ronald E. Echols, Sr. who both preceded her in death.
Mrs. Echols worked as a domestic worker and later became a photo tech for
H. &W. Studios in downtown Atlanta. She retired from H. &W. Studios in the
early 1980's.
In the early morning hours of March 9, 2010, after a brief illness, Mrs. Echols departed this life to go home to be with the Lord. She leaves to honor and cherish her memory, two loving, caring, and devoted grandsons, Mr. Karsten Noiret Green, Riverdale, Georgia and Mr. Ronald E. Echols, Jr., Atlanta, Georgia; two loving, caring and devoted granddaughters, Miss Tanya Echols Montgomery, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Miss Brittany Hall, Smyrna, Georgia; one loving, caing, and devoted great-grandson, Master Jalen Noiret Green, Atlanta, Georgia; a very special cousin, Mrs. Virginia Young , Rochester, New York; special and caring friends, Ms. Sarah Etchison, Stone Mountain, Georgia, Ms. Betty Hall, Smyrna, Georgia, Mrs. Roenell West, Riverdale, Georgia, Mr. Frank Warren, Atlanta, Georgia, Reverend Patricia Garner, and Reverend James Kenner; and a host of other special relatives and friends.
"She is only away- in your thoughts and your heart. You are always together, never apart, in your sorrow, remember she's only away ... Though she may not be with you, the memories stay ... And in time, when the hurt isn't too much to bear, whenever you look, in your heart she'll be there."
