Ann Rogers Mitchem passed Sunday, August 3, 2014. Ann is survived by three children: Teresa Shirley Witham of Conyers, GA, Craig Mitchem of Lilburn, GA, and Dave Mitchem of Greenville, SC. Son-in-Law Doug Witham and Daughter-in-Law Kim Mitchem, wife of Dave. She has six grandchildren: Alison, Jay and Nick Shirley, Rose Mitchem, and Michael and Emily Mitchem. She is further survived by sisters Helen Willey and Joyce Jones, son-in-law Don Willey, and many nieces and nephews. Ann was preceded in death by son, Greg, and former husband, Fay. Ann’s parents, Sarah and Frank Rogers also preceded her in death.
Her love of the Lord and family will not end with her death. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all who knew her. Ann’s desire to be in the midst of family at all times will long prevail as the family’s tradition.
Visitation will be held at Wages and Sons Funeral Home, 1040 Main Street, Stone Mountain, GA, 30083 from 5:00 – 7:30pm on Monday, August 4, 2014. A graveside service is set for 11:00am at Melwood Cemetery, 5170 East Ponce de Leon, Stone Mountain, Georgia 30083.
Ann was a wonderful person. She will be missed by all who knew her. We were classmates and good friends at Stone Mountain High School, and maintained that friendship through the interaction of our families in Stone Mountain. She was always a very sweet and beautiful person. My love and respect for Ann will live on.
Ann exemplified the character of Christ in all that she did. She is a shining example of what God meant Christians to be. It was our privilege to have know Ann and to experience her kindness.

Dear Craig, Teresa and Dave,
Dear Teresa, Craig and Dave,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was always kind, generous and thoughtful. Do you remember as kids when we all ran around the neighborhood with Kim and Perry? Life was simple back then. And then as we grew older, your mom worked briefly at the Old Post Office Buffet and we would see her at the bank. I miss those times. I pray God will be with all of you and strengthen you in your time of need.
