of Benton, AR
May 12, 1931 - December 16, 2018
Violet Marie Mitchell, 87, of Benton, this beautiful woman of God, went to be with Jesus; her two sisters, Ruby Johnson and Dora Pierce; and her seven brothers, Woodrow Gammel, Dorvin, Miller, Doyle, Carl, Lyon and Vaughn Childress. Also preceding her in death were Olen Johnson, Ray McArthur, Cecil Mitchell; her granddaughter, Tracy Fullington; and great-grandsons, Joshua Dean Fullington and Delco McArthur.

Momma, Granny, GG will be missed more than can be expressed. We are all very happy that she is no longer in her earthly body, but is now receiving her new body and the stars on her crown for being steadfast in her faith in the Lord Jesus, and for obeying the word of God as a beautiful Christian. Also for loving her church family and many others who won't be named, but, never forgotten.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends. May you find comfort in your memories together and in God and his word the Bible. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
Leroy, we are sorry for your loss.
Leroy and family: We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

We just learned of the passing of your loved one our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time
Kay, Dave and family, Amanda and family and all Violet's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren I am so sorry for your loss. When we visited Kay her Mom was often there and always had a smile for us and a special attention for my husband which meant so much to me. I didn't know her very well, but well enough to know the love she had for her family and especially her grandchildren. You can see on pictures the greatest smiles are when she is with those little ones. I believe she is with the Lord today and I believe Al and Frank were there to greet her-along with a host of family and friends. We will see her again, but will be missing her in the interval. Life is fragile. Love one another.
Prayers for comfort and strength.
Thoughts & Prayers during this most difficult time. Sorry for your loss. Sweet lady!
