Annie Mikel

On Thursday January 2, 2025, at 11:54 pm. Annie Blondyne Mikel also known as "Mother" departed from this life. She was born in Heidelberg, Mississippi. She was the daughter of the late Couzone and Lillie Newell.

She was a firm believer of being in God's good grace. She would read her bible faithfully.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years Ozie Mikel, her brother Delaunce Ellis Newell, two sisters Linda Prescott and Vanessa "Wanda" Newell.

In her life's journey, she attended public school in Mississippi. Her family moved from Mississippi to Norwalk, Connecticut. Where she attended Norwalk High School and graduated at the age of 16. She attended Katherine Gibbs Business School. She received a certificate as home companion and worked with her clients until she wasn't able too.

One thing about Mrs. Mikel is she loved to go shopping at Marshall's, T.J Maxx and Home Goods. Once she left those stores at closing time, she then head over to the grocery store. She would stay there until closing time. She loved shopping for her family members. She was a loving and caring lady. If you ever asked her how she doing, she would reply "I'm still kicking" as time went by, and she got older she would reply "I'm still kicking just not high". She will be greatly missed and forever loved by many.
