Geneva Belle Atkins went to be with the Lord, Sunday, March 17, 2019 in Mt. Pleasant, Texas at the age of 95. Geneva was born on August the 1st, 1923 in Dodsonville, TX to Carl Raines & Mamie "Muddy" (Wisdom) Raines. Services will be held Thursday, March 21, 2019 at the North Ridge Church of Christ at 2:00 PM with visitation with the family one hour prior to the service.
She was a member of the North Ridge Church of Christ & a faithful servant of Christ. She was baptized into Christ at the age of 12, having been taken to church as far back as she could remember by her beloved mother "Muddy".
