Leoma Mitchell, 83, of Blanche, Tennessee went home to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 24th, 2026, at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Born Friday, January 23rd, 1943, in Camargo, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Loyce William Payne and the late Joyce Maggie Sue Sims Payne.
She worked for years in the banking system and was excited to retire and devote her days to her family. A member of Cash Point Baptist Church, her service to the Lord was seen in her teaching various classes, going on mission trips with her beloved husband, Kenneth, and sharing the Gospel message with others. She loved large: the Lord was always first in her and Kenneth’s life and their second priority was each other, with their family being their life purpose. A beautiful lady inside and out, her greatest joy this side of heaven was her family.
