Burial followed in Smith Cemetery. The Rev. Jerry Hatcher officiated. The family received friends from 12:30 p.m. until service time on Tuesday, March 25, at the church.
Mrs. Mitchell was born on June 2, 1938, the daughter of the late Robert and the late Agnes Dorman of Vaiden. Jeanette dedicated her life to her family and church where she was a pianist for more than 58 years. She was known for cooking food for anyone in need and any special occasions.
Jeanette was a dedicated member of Rosebloom Church of the Nazarene. Mrs. Mitchell had beautiful penmanship that she used often to send cards and letters to those she loved. In 1956, she married the love of her life, Raymond Cecil Mitchell Sr. They were married for 52 years until his passing. She spent most of her adult life working at Pennaco Hosiery in Grenada. She worked there for 40 years until her retirement. Jeanette was a dedicated and loving mother to her three children, but nothing brought her more joy than becoming a grandmother and, later, a great grandmother.
In addition to her parents, her husband of 52 years, Raymond Cecil Mitchell Sr., and one son, Ricky Joe Mitchell, preceded Jeanette in death.
Survivors include, her daughter, Debbie Price (Rickey) of Grenada; one son, Raymond Cecil Mitchell Jr. of Cullman, Ala.; daughter-in-law, Becky Mitchell of Rosebloom; five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She is also survived by special friends, Loyce and Stick Stokes.
