Obituary For Mrs. Nikeetia Lavoan Harvey Rutherford

Mrs. Nikeetia Lavoan Harvey Rutherford was born on February 2, l970, to Mrs. Rosetta Walker Harris and Mr. Randolph Harvey, Jr. in Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia. At an early age, she joined the Pine Chapel Baptist Church.

She received her education in the Thomaston City School System. She graduated from R.E. Lee Institute and furthered her education earning an Associate Degree in Nursing.

She met the love of her life and on November 15, 2002, she married Mr. Michael J. Rutherford. This made her life complete. They both took their vows seriously; so in sickness and health, they both remained committed to each other. Nikeetia loved sharing the Word of God and her testimony with others.
