When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
1 WANT NO RITES IN A GLOOM'FILLED ROOM
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone
Its all a part of the Masters plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.
We, the family of the late Allie Mae Cheatham, extend our deepest
appreciation for the outpouring of love, sympathy, and kindness
shown during the passing of our loved one. May God grant each of
you His richest blessings. - The Family

ALLIE MAE CHEATHAM was born on February 16,1935, in
Natchez, Alabama to Maggie Jane Marshall and Nathaniel
Johnson. She was raised by her grandparents, Earthy and
Albertha Marshall in Beatrice, Alabama. Allie received her
education through the public school system of Monroe
County and graduated high school at the age of sixteen. She
accepted Christ at the young age of eight at Shiloh Baptist
Church, where she was baptized and worked in many
auxiliaries in the church.
Soon after graduating high school, Allie migrated to
Pensacola, Florida and married Howard Cheatham. She was
blessed with three children: Jennie, Brunetta and Billie. They
then relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Allie worked
for the Department of Veterans Affairs for twenty'five years.
After retiring, Allie and Howard moved to Augusta, Georgia.
Allie was a loyal servant of God and served faithfully. She
became an ordained minister in 1978 at St. Marys Missionary
Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and had been
spreading and living by the Word ever since. Allie was a
member of William Grove Baptist Church in Waynesboro,
Georgia. She also fellowshipped with several churches
throughout Augusta and was lovingly known as Mother
Cheatham.
W"
Dont grieve for me, for now Im free.
Im following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I TURNED MY BACK AND LEFT IT ALL.
I COULD NOT STAY ANOTHER DAY,
TO LAUGH, TO LOVE, TO WORK OR PLAY.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I FOUND that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
THEN FILL IT WITH REMEMBERED JOY.
A FRIENDSHIP SHARED, A LAUGH, A KISS;
Allie was preceded in death by her husband of fifty'two
years, Howard Cheatham; beloved daughter, Brunetta East;
and brothers, Theophus Davison, Willie Davison, Joseph
Odom and Oliver Wingate.
Allie answered the call of her loving Savior and transitioned
into her promised paradise on Wednesday, February 7,2018.
She will forever live on in the hearts of her family. She leaves to
cherish her loving memory: son, Billie East; daughter, Jennie
East; sisters, Florence Wingate, Bernadine Clark and Patrica
Ezell; fifteen grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren;
four sisters'inTaw and two brothers'inTaw; and a host of
nieces, nephews, church family and friends.
OH YES, THESE THINGS, I TOO WILL MISS.
Be NOT BURDENED WITH TIMES OF SORROW.
I WISH YOU THE SUNSHINE OF TOMORROW.
My LIFES BEEN FULL, I SAVORED MUCH;
GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD TIMES, A LOVED ONES TOUCH.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
dont lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
