Obituary For Pastor Fannie Mae Whitfield

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." II Timothy 4:6-8

Pastor Fannie Mae Whitfield was born on February 11, 1929 in Valdosta, GA to the late Morgan and Earline Johnson.

Fannie attended Dasher High School. At an early age, Fannie accepted the Lord as her Savior. She was a member of The Sanctified Holiness Church of God Without Spot or Wrinkle under the leadership of the late Bishop David McCray and the late Bishop L.B. Daniels. She remained a loyal and dedicated member until her passing.

Fannie was a very loving, caring and giving person to her family, friends and church family. Each day of her life, until the end, she lifted her eyes unto the Lord who sustained her. She placed her faith and trust in God.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Morgan and Earline Johnson; four brothers, Benjamin C. Johnson (Earlene), Theodis Johnson (Eva Mae), Willie Johnson (Estella) and Joe L. Johnson; two sisters, Mary Morrell (Sherman) and Gussie Cubby (Frank).

On Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at Fannie’s residence, God looked around His garden and found an empty place; He then looked down upon the earth and saw Fannie’s precious face. He put His arms around her and lifted her unto eternal rest.

Mack both of Valdosta, GA and Donald Whitfield (Teresa) of Ann Arbor, MI; three grandchildren, Donald Ray Burrows, Rodney and Octavius Best (Melissa); four great grandchildren, Makayla Whitfield, Nicholas Best, Sophia Best and Sasha Best; one loving sister, Gracie Williams; a special niece who was like a sister, Gussie Carol Johnson; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and sorrowing friends.
