Ms. Betty Sue Rogers Mitchell went peacefully to her heavenly home on December 6, 2021, at the age of 73. She was born in Fitzgerald, Georgia on July 2, 1948, to the late James Alton Rogers, Sr. and Doris Melton Rogers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 48 years, Rev. Ronnie Linwood Mitchell. Sue is survived by her sister, Dorothy Swanson (Larry) of Fitzgerald, Georgia, two brothers, Glenn Rogers (Amy) of Conyers, Georgia, Alton Rogers of Panama City Beach, Florida, and 13 nieces and nephews. She is also survived by many Godchildren, including a very special Godson, Michael Slaven and a tribe of friends that she loved dearly. Sue lived most of her life in Senoia, Georgia, and she often shared the story of meeting her soulmate at South Georgia Technical College and searching for his hometown of Senoia on a map because she had never heard of it. Little did she know she would live there and watch the single caution light town grow to become famous well beyond the city limits. Sue was a long time member of First Baptist Church of Senoia where she taught Sunday School, facilitated the Ladies Bible Study, orchestrated the Women’s Ministry, and served as the Director of the WMU. Sue also served as an Awana leader, assisted with Vacation Bible School, and served alongside Rev. Mitchell in many capacities. Sue loved to travel and often shared stories of when she and Rev. Mitchell traveled to the Holy Land, England, Alaska, and Mexico, as well as a trip with special friends to see Elvis in Graceland. In recent years, she enjoyed traveling with “her tribe” on a Carribbean cruise and visiting both New York City and Washington DC at Christmas time.
