Mildred Christine Haynes, our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, went to be with Jesus at the age of 81 on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at Life Care Center. Her spirit left us to rejoice in the Lord, but there are many treasured memories and the peace of Jesus to comfort those of us she left behind. Her joyous hobbies included singing in the choir, taking and collecting photos, and gardening in her roses and tulips. She loved her family and her many years of having everyone over for good food and late night Rock games. They will be sorely missed as well as the delicious and beautifully decorated cakes she baked for friends and family.
She was the daughter of the late Ralph J. and Nannie Sue Robertson. In addition to her parents, she is preceeded in death by her husband Adger G. Haynes and a sister Katherine Robertson.
She is survived by her sister, Pantha Jean Robertson of Lake Lure; one son Randall G. Haynes; two daughters Penny Haynes Fore and Jennifer Haynes; two grandchildren Brandi McWhorter Sanders and husband Jamie and Lindsey Fore; and two great-grandchildren Elijah Sanders and Ayla Sanders all of Henderson County; her best friend, Leona Wilson of Lake Lure; as well as a host of very special nieces and nephews across the world.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00am on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at French Broad Baptist Church, 182 Grandview Lane, Hendersonville. Reverend Kemuel Pruitt and Pastor Todd Eaton will officiate. A graveside service will follow at 3:00pm at Billís Creek Cemtery at 1475 Billís Creek Road, Lake Lure, NC with Reverend Terrell Dillingham. The family will receive friends from 10-11 am, prior to the service Wednesday at the church.
Condolences to the Haynes family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
Wishing you blessings and comfort during this time.
Thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
We share in your loss, remembering the immediate pain of our own; especially, Moms. Planning to attend the Memorial Service in honor of Mildred….. May God continue to comfort each of you.
Mick will be missed by all who knew her. A beautiful smile and a kind word for all. Our best to Randy, Jennifer, Penny and P. J. and the rest of the family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Our joy is knowing where Mildred is now.
OUR SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY. GOD BLESS
Penny, Randy, and Jennifer – My heart is so heavy at this news. Your mother was such a good woman – she worked so hard taking care of you and your dad. I always loved coming to your house, Penny. Hold each other up during this time, and I’ll lift you all in prayer.
