Ms. Vernita Mitchell transitioned from her earthly home on Sunday, June 5, 2022 at Annie Penn Memorial Hospital in Reidsville, North Carolina. Memorial services will be held on Sunday, June 12, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at McLaurin Memorial Chapel, 721 E. Morehead Street, Reidsville, NC.
Vernita Cozette Mitchell was born on February 7, 1960 to the late Jeannette Marie Mitchell and Robert Lindsey in Greensboro, North Carolina. She was preceded in death by her brothers, James Mitchell and Robert Lindsey, Jr., and a special niece, Rasheeda Martin.
As a lifelong resident of Reidsville, NC, she attended the public schools of Rockingham County and was employed by Quality Associates until her health failed.
“Nita” as she was affectionately referred to by her family and close friends, was loved and respected by all who knew her. She loved watching movies, knitting, listening to music, dancing and especially spending time with her family and “her grands.” Her presence will be truly missed, but the wisdom and love she shared with others will remain in our hearts forever.
Those left to cherish precious memories are: her husband, Dennis McCollum; three beautiful daughters, Nicole D. Mitchell and Mary E. Nelson (Antoine), all of Reidsville, NC and Dashae R. Galloway of Goldsboro, NC: three grandchildren, Jaquela Williamson and Kasim Morris both of Reidsville, NC and Essence Morris of Stoneville, NC; three great grandchildren, Derek Raeford and Damiya Raeford, both of Reidsville, NC and Alaya Ulyssee of Stoneville, NC; one sister, Sharzine Velasquez (Santos) of Greensboro, NC; two brothers, Bernard Garrett of Reidsville, NC and Terrell Faulk (Robin) of Maryland; two special nieces, Natalie Donnell of Cincinnati, OH and Tammy Crymes of Reidsville, NC; nieces; nephews; and a host of other family members and dear friends.
