The Funeral Service for Ms. Janie Marie Whitfield Anderson of Warner Robins, Georgia will be held Saturday, July 22, 2023, at 12 noon at Beulahland Bible Church, 2368 Gunn Road, Byron, Georgia. Interment will follow at New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery, 8620 Highway 26 East, Montezuma, Georgia.
Janie Marie Anderson was the only daughter of the late Lester Whitfield, Sr. and Mary Frances Mathis Whitfield West. She was born May 3, 1946, in Houston County, Georgia, and she received her education in the Houston County School System. She was baptized at Shiloh Baptist Church (Henderson) at a young age. Later she joined Beulahland Bible Church and attended faithfully until her health began to fail.
Marie, as she was affectionately known by her family and friends, touched the hearts of many. She entered the Happy Hour Day Program in Warner Robins in the mid-90s receiving employment and social skills in the training centers. There she met new friends and called them “family”.
On Sunday, July 16, 2023, Marie transitioned from this life on earth to eternal life peacefully with her three brothers, her aunt Dorothy, cousin Gladys, and cousin Sandy at her side. Her former husband, Henry Anderson, preceded her in death.
Marie leaves precious memories to be cherished by her brothers: Lester Whitfield, Jr. (Mary), Elijah Whitfield (Shirley), and Jackie Whitfield (the late Carolyn); aunts: Ethel Denson, Earlene Mathis Gilbert, Shirley Mathis, Carolyn Whitfield, Charlie Mae Whitfield, and Dorothy Whitfield Patrick; uncles: Clarence Mathis (Glenda) and Harold Mathis; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, Happy Hour family, and other sorrowing friends.
