UDituary
On August 15, 1955, Mrs. Vivian "Bea" (Gaither) Mitchell was born to Mr. & Mrs. Bud (Betty) Gaither. She
was the eldest of two children.
She attended and graduated from Newton County High School. "Bea" joined Poplar Hill A.M.E. Church at an early age. For several years, she worked at Food Depot in Covington, Ga. She was warm, very humorous and a loving spirited person with an infectious smile that will be truly
missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Mr. Roy Waymond Mitchell.
Then I heard a voice from Heaven say, "Write; Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord now on "Yes says the spirit, they will rest from their labor in their deeds will follow them."
On Thursday March 20, 2008 "Just a little past lunch" the angel in Heaven rang the bell and summoned "Bea" home.
She leaves to cherish her memories, parents, Mr. &
Mrs. Bud (Betty) Gaither, children, Ms. Chrishaye Gaither,
Mr. Royce (Monique) Mitchell, Mr. Markel Mitchell, Ms.
Sequoyah Mitchell, one brother, Mr. sr.urgeon (Anita)
Gadher, three grandchildren, Sateen, Marke , Jr. and Rahkef,
nieces and nephew, Nicole, Ambria and Junior a host of close
aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, a devoted and loving friend,
Chrisandra Wimberly.

The Rose Garden
I was walking through the rose garden, just the other day. And I heard a voice, I looked around and said "Chrishaye", is that you? No answer. I bent over to pick some roses and three more voices came that brought me to a scare. I said "Digem", Bud, Betty is that rou? Still no answer. I preceded to pick my last rose, but . this time the voices were different. They sounded like the voices of my babies. I said Markel, Sequoyah, is that you? Still no answer. As I picked my last rose, I heard a voice say, My child take your rest, you are the rose that I picked. The voices you heard were the voices of my angels.
