Faye Hines Mitchell
April 4, 1934 — September 11, 2022
Faye Hines Mitchell died on September 11, 2022, at her home in Selmer, TN, surrounded by family. She was 88 years old, but eternally 39 to anyone who asked.
She was born April 4, 1934, in Bethel Springs TN to the late Ab and Alta Ellis Hines. She was united in marriage to W. K. Mitchell in 1952. They were married for 20 years before he preceded her in death in 1973. She is also preceded in death by her sister, Frances Hines Burks; her brother, Richard Hines; and her son, Steven K. Mitchell.
She is survived by her daughters, Ginger Mitchell Murphy of Pompano Beach, FL and Kelly Mitchell Atkinson (Ronnie) of Foley, AL, and 6 grandchildren: Corey Goodrum, Gina Dettor, Jill S. Keen, Blake Mitchell, Ronnie Neal Atkinson, and Andrew M. Atkinson.
Faye had quite the entrepreneurial spirit. Early in her marriage she ran a grocery store and Mitchell's Meat Processing plant with her husband. After his death in 1973, she stepped in and ran Mitchell-McClain Sawmill until the business sold in 1975. Later, she opened "The Villa" dress shop in Selmer and a restaurant, Li'l Abner's, that she ran with her sister Frances Burks.
Faye loved traveling (sandy beaches were a favorite), golf, high-heeled shoes, and beautiful clothes. Without question, she'd be the most glamorous person in any room.
Faye was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, First Baptist Church of Selmer, and the Selmer Golf & Country Club. She was a regular on Thursday evenings for the Selmer Ladies' Golf League and worked diligently for many years to produce the "Junior-Senior" Golf Tournament for children. She will be sorely missed.
A private family interment was held at Oak Hill Cemetery in Selmer. Memorials may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.
