Mildred Russell Hanshaw
Mildred "Mickey" Russell Hanshaw, 81, of Lexington, N.C., died suddenly Wednesday, November 14, 2007, at home of a heart attack.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, at Fairmont Presbyterian Church, 1436 Cotton Grove Road, Lexington N.C., presided by the Rev. Randy Hall.
The family will receive visitors and celebrate Mickey's life in the Fellowship Hall immediately following the service.
Mickey was born in Poca and educated in Putnam County, W.Va.
In addition to her husband, Carl, she was preceded in death by her parents, Owen and Hattie Russell; her three brothers, Owen Jr., Lawrence and William; and her three sisters, Harriet Carr, Margaret Carver and Helen Neville.
She was an accomplished seamstress and an avid reader and loved cooking, especially desserts. Current events dominated her daily conversation and her continuous pursuit of knowledge prompted her to study Spanish at age 80. Her lifelong love of the arts included listening to music, attending live performances and exploring numerous fine art exhibits.
In addition to enjoying time with her family, Mickey was an active member of Davidson County In-City Extension group (Lunch Bunch) and Fairmont Presbyterian Church, which she served through her participation in Presbyterian Women. She felt her greatest accomplishments were her four children.
Surviving are her four children, Stephen Hanshaw and his wife, Carmen, of Sugar Land, Texas, Dora Hanshaw of Charlotte, N.C., Kimberly Crosby and her husband, Dennis, of Suwannee, Ga., and Kenneth Hanshaw and his wife, Patricia, of Charlotte; eight grandchildren, Carla Hunt and her husband, Mark, Doug and Suzanne Hanshaw, Tyler, Adam and Clay Crosby and Megan and Joseph Hanshaw; two sisters, Mary Carver of Charleston, W.Va., and Evelyn Shannon of St Albans, W.Va.; and one brother Frank of Louisville, Ky.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to Fairmont Presbyterian Church, 1436 Cotton Grove Road, Lexington, NC 27292, or Lexington Public Library, 602 S. Main Street, Lexington, NC, 27292.
