Mary Ann Mitchell
Passed 04/05/2023
Mary Ann was born on May 19, 1957 to Dr. John Thomas and Bettye Lewis Mitchell in Quitman, GA. Both parents preceded her in death. She leaves behind her sister, Minta Mitchell Elder and brother-in-law, Rick Elder.
In her childhood, Mary Ann was an adorable, precocious child. Mary Ann became a lover of music and a lover of all things artsy and crafty. Music has always been one of her passions. She was pianist at Morrison Baptist Church. In past years she has used her musical talent in several churches within the area. Mary Ann loved to sing. Her voice range was amazing although her favorite voice parts were alto and tenor. She would volunteer to play and sing at the Presbyterian Home when needed.
She attended college and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Valdosta State University. Upon graduation she worked for Juvenile Justice Division in Colquitt County but later returned to her family’s farm where she raised cattle and grew hay.
Mary Ann will be greatly missed by her precious fur baby, Lemonade, along with her many family members and friends.
Mary Ann had the biggest heart and the most beautiful smile. She was a private and quiet person, but also very witty and fun! She was fearless and independent, yet sensitive and incredibly compassionate. She was strong-willed and stubborn, but those traits defined Mary Ann. They were part of who she was, and her strength undoubtedly helped her deal with life’s challenges.
