MAE WITT Obituary

Mae Yvonne Titmus Witt, 76, of Dinwiddie passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 24, 2020. Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Mae Titmus, and infant brother, Charles Edward Titmus. Yvonne is survived by husband, Gene Randolph Witt, Sr.; daughter, Cynthia Witt Sessums (Brenda); and two sons, Randy Witt and Ray Witt (Lisa). She was blessed with 7 grandchildren, BJay Sessums (Ashley), Christopher Sessums, Britney Armstrong, Shawn Ketcham, Blake Witt, Bryce Witt and Bailey Witt; and six great-grandchildren, Caleb, Joshua, Sarah, Aaron Sessums, Lexi and Kendall. She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and special friend, Richard (Beanie) Bain Temple.

Yvonne was a member of West End Baptist Church, where she came to know and accept the Lord at an early age and served Him in many different capacities over the years. After staying home to raise her children in their early years, she worked for Crater District Planning Commission. She retired from Mitchell, Wiggins and Company, LLP where she worked for 26 years.

Yvonne enjoyed everything that involved her family. She attended numerous sporting events over the years supporting her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Yvonne never missed an opportunity to attend any event that celebrated her family members. She was always their biggest cheerleader. Her final days were spent in her daughter's home where she enjoyed visits from family and friends. She loved to laugh and reminisce about days past. She was loved and will be dearly missed by all.

The family would like to thank her wonderful caregivers, Karen Walls and Brooke Sadler, who gave of themselves unconditionally to help care for Yvonne.
