Mrs. Jeanette Dorman Mitchell, 86, of Rosebloom passed away Saturday, March 22, 2025, at her home. Mrs. Mitchell was born on June 2, 1938, to Robert and Agnes Dorman of Vaiden.
Jeanette dedicated her life to her family and church where she was a pianist for over 58 years. She was known for cooking food for anyone in need and any special occasions. Jeanette was a dedicated member of Rosebloom Church of the Nazarene. Mrs. Mitchell had beautiful penmanship that she used often to send cards and letters to those she loved. In 1956, she married the love of her life, Raymond Cecil Mitchell, Sr. They were married for 52 years until his passing. She spent most of her adult life working at Pennaco Hosiery in Grenada. She worked there for 40 years until her retirement. Jeanette was a dedicated and loving mother to her three children, but nothing brought her more joy than becoming a grandmother and, later, a great-grandmother.
Jeanette is preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Raymond Cecil Mitchell, Sr. and son, Ricky Joe Mitchell.
She is survived by her daughter, Debbie Price(Rickey) of Grenada; son, Raymond Cecil Mitchell, Jr. of Cullman, Ala.; daughter-in-law, Becky Mitchell of Rosebloom; five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by special friends, Loyce and Stick Stokes.
