Linda Kay Mitchell, 68, of Corinth, MS, went to her heavenly home on Friday, August 31, 2018. She was born in Booneville, MS, on December 1, 1949 to the late Reubel Gann and Evelyn Spratlin. She was a Christian, a loving wife and mother and a proud grandmother. Her talents could be seen during every season of the year. Her flower arranging skills were evident through the many floral pieces she created with live and artificial flowers. From Valentine’s Day to Mother’s Day and from spring to fall and Christmas, the bouquets, bows and decorations she crafted, both large and small, were proudly displayed in homes all over Corinth. Lee Highway Floral gave her the venue to showcase her ability. She was a homemaker, interior decorator and assisted her husband with building many houses during their marriage. She also enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family.
Those left to remember and honor her include her husband of 52 years, James Gary Mitchell; children: April Lathrop and husband Matt; Kevin Mitchell and wife Michelle, all of Corinth, MS; her grandchildren: Garison Lathrop and fiancé Kalee Nash, Peyton Lathrop, Hunter Mitchell, Sam Mitchell and Molly Grace Mitchell; her sisters: Marsha Lavelle of Georgia, Pam Duhon of Louisiana; her brother Terry Wayne Gann of Georgia; her special sister-in-law Sandra Diane Coleman, nieces and nephews, other relatives and a host of friends.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her stepfather Junior Spratlin, mother-in-law Mae Page Mitchell and father-in-law Elbert James Mitchell and brother-in-law Norbert Coleman.
Visitation is scheduled for 5-8 pm Sunday, September 2, 2018 at Memorial Funeral Home. A celebration of life service will be held at 11 am Monday, September 3, 2018 at Memorial Funeral Home Chapel officiated by Rev. Warren Jones.
