MILDRED JEAN (PICKETT) ANDREWS

Mildred Jean Andrews, age 90,  passed away on October 13, 2024 with her family beside her.  She was a precious mama and loved all of her kids unconditionally.  She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren with everything that her heart could hold.  She was always  ready for the holidays.  Just being around her family was a joy to her.  Mama had a green thumb.  She would plant any flower or bush that she could just to see how pretty they would turn out and boy were they pretty.  Mama was always there no matter what the situation was.  She gave advice on sickness or health to us about making the best choices you had to work with.  We always knew she loved us. Not a day, evening or morning would go by without calling and checking on us.  For anybody that knew our mama she always had that smiling face and she never liked conflict.  Our mother gave us everything that she could and some.  We may have not had everything we wanted but one thing for sure her love was so rich for us all.  Mama you are  home now with my Daddy, Granny and Pawpaw, Grandsons, Jeremy and Brent and your Brothers and Sisters who have gone on before you.  Mama you plant those beautiful flowers, you cook that good ole banana pudding and everything else that you always cooked for us.  We will miss you terribly but just know that you will be healed, no more pain  and suffering.  Fly high my precious mama.  God’s most precious angel on earth is my Mama.
