Annis Lynch Obituary

Annis Lynch

Ms. Annis Lynch was called home to be with her Lord on Sunday, Dec. 26, 2010, at Virginia Baptist Hospital in Lynchburg. She was born Jan. 14, 1933, to the late Abner Lynch and Ada McDaniel Lynch.

She joined Fifth Street Baptist Church at an early age and later became a member of Cross Road Baptist Church. She was very active in church activities and served as church clerk for many years. She was a part of the Music Ministry, the Sunday School Ministry, the Missionary Ministry and the Trustee Ministry.

Annis was educated in the Lynchburg City Schools and spent most of her life in Campbell County. She was retired from the Campbell County Social Services and was very active in the Campbell County NAACP.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one sister, Glendora Clements, and three brothers, Bernard, Henry and Ruben Lynch.

Memories will be cherished by her son, Michael Mitchell, and his wife, Linda; her brother, Rudolph Lynch, and his wife, Ruby; her grandchildren, William Mitchell, Erin Poindexter Clinton Hubbard, William Hubbard, Wendy Snow, Erika Graves; great-grandchild, Baby Clint; cousins, Audrey and Leon Coleman and J.E. McDaniel; and many other loving relatives and friends. In addition to her family, two special friends and caregivers, Diane Monroe and Diane Patterson, and a lifelong friend, Carrie Ruth Franklin, will cherish her memories.

Michael, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a great lady. Sorry that I couldn't make it to the funeral. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.

Dear Michael and Family, I was so sad to read of Annis's passing, but I understand that she had made her choice and I know she is happy and healthy walking with her Lord and Savior now. So many wonderful things could be said about her; she was a part of my life for several decades at Social Services (actually, she defined us for much of that time!) Her sense of humor and the many funny things that always seemed to happen to her, her care for others, her willingness to stick up for those who were without a voice, her stories about the family she dearly loved and who loved her--all of these things make Annis unforgettable. I learned so much from her, I admired and loved her. She'll never die in my heart. My prayers are with each of you for God's comfort and peace. Annis is probably telling St. Peter a good joke right about now. Love from a friend, Susan Rosser Jones

Dear Ruby and Rudolph,
Please let me express my deapest sympathy in the loss of your sister Annis. God had decided that it was time for her to go home. She is blessed to be with her Savior now - but you will have to live without her.
