Martha was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend.
She was a faithful and beloved member of Valley View Baptist Church, and her greatest joy was following Christ in her selfless service to others. Everyone loved Miss Martha. She prepared and coordinated many, many church dinners and always made sure that families were treated to a good meal at their time of celebration or at their time of bereavement.
She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Albert and Evelyn Simpson; and brothers, Charlie and Johnny Simpson.
She is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Charles “Cub” Mitchell; children, Timothy (Bonnie) Mitchell, Wayne (Charlene) Mitchell, and Jeff (Lisa Thomas) Mitchell; ten grandchildren; eighteen great-grandchildren; and a host of family and friends.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 7, 2019 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Bridges Funeral Home. The family will gather at 2:15 PM for a 2:30 PM graveside service on Sunday, September 8, 2019 at Roseberry Baptist Church Cemetery with Rev. Justin Pratt, Rev. Donnie Cash, and Rev.
