Jeanette Elizabeth Mitchell

Jeanette retired from Middle Georgia College, Cochran, Georgia in 2000 after 15 years of service as Executive Secretary of the Transportation Department and also a member of Limestone Baptist Church of Cochran, Georgia before moving back to Columbus, Georgia.

Jeanette had a passion for animals, and loved her pets dearly that she had throughout her lifetime, Sassy, Cooper, and Jenny just to name a few.

Jeanette was a wonderful mother figure and human being. She embodied the best of qualities: Unconditional Love, Strength of Spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her family and friends. She touched so many lives in her lifetime. The world is a little less brighter without her in it. She will be deeply missed.
