Bertie Mae Patterson Mitchell was born on August 21, 1949, in Shreveport, Louisiana.  She worked in the medical billing industry for over 20 years. Bertie was a loving and caring person, always giving her time to others and lived her life through kindness, patience, and modesty. She loved to cook, sew, and spend time with her family and was an active member in her church community. Bertie never met a stranger and was beloved by all who knew her.  She could spark a conversation with anyone at any time and loved to witness to others about her faith.  She had a strong will for life, with great determination and endurance to bear all obstacles that came her way.   

Bertie’s life revolved around her family. She was devoted to her husband and loved her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. They brought much joy and happiness to her world.

Bertie was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Vera Bell Patterson, sister Patsy Wheeler, brothers Johnny and Jimmy Patterson, and great-granddaughters Aubrey Denise and Avery Grace.
