Revallie Heaggans Freeman

Revallie Louise Heaggans Freeman, 58, of 204 Jasmine Circle was the daughter of the late John Alexander and Evelyn Mills Heaggans. She was born in Iredell County on May 27, 1957 and departed this life on Sunday, October 4, 2015 following an extended illness. Revallie was preceded in death by her biological parents, John Louis Moten and Patsy Ann Keaton; and sister, Lori Ann Keaton.

Revallie, affectionately called “Ya Ya, Mimi, Nanna” by her grandchildren and great grandchildren, attended Amity Elementary School, South Iredell High School and graduated from Mitchell Community College. On September 11, 1982 she married the love of her life, Calvin Curtis Freeman who survives. She began her career at Troutman Elementary School as a teacher assistant and bus driver. After working many years in the education field, she opened her own day care; J.O.Y (Jesus, Others, Yourself) Family Daycare in Troutman, NC. Revallie later became the owner/ operator of Freeman’s Towing Inc. She showed “Motherly Love” to her students and any child who came upon her door step. She was an awesome woman of God and so very wise. She attended Cast the First Stone Ministry in Troutman, NC and was the “Mother of the Church”. She welcomed you with open arms and always left you with kind words of wisdom to lead you down the path of righteousness. She was always willing to help you and to lend a listening ear. She was loving and forgiving and accepted all for who they were. She had always said that when she leaves this earth and enters the kingdom of heaven if she leaves you anything, she leaves you the love of Jesus Christ and she meant that.

With this beautiful union, Calvin and Revallie created their legacy; three daughters, Pastor Krista Cousar (Thomas Cousar), Ciji Freeman (Dominique Scott) and Janice Witherspoon; two sons Kevin “KC” Freeman (Tina Freeman), Mario Freeman (Kisha Bailey); thirteen grandchildren, Porsha Witherspoon, Tashonna Witherspoon, Jaylyn Bailey, Stefanie Rossi, Anesia Cherry, Anaya Cherry, Zaniya Parks, DeMario Parks, Amaree Freeman, Erikah Freeman, Lia Freeman, Alayna Freeman, Caivin Scott; two great grandchildren, Jordan Witherspoon and Kylie Marion-Witherspoon; and a special niece, Natajia Freeman.
