IN MEMORY OF GLADYS MACKIE
SMALLING
Death came into this world last Friday,
And scanned the passing throng;
Some with a sigh upon their lips,
Some with a song.
�I will be merciful in choosing mine today,
Since at the Lord�s command I take one soul away.�
Old age, sorrowing and sick,
He slowly passed them by,
�A little longer I will wait,
So soon they, too, must die.�
Until at last he found a face
Most precious, sweet and fair,
With laughter on her lips
And sunshine in her hair.
�I will not leave thee, Gladys Mackie,
Until these sordid years have
Taught thy lips bitterness,
And thine eyes more tears.�
So stooping low he placed a kiss so light,
And Gladys Mackie passed from human sight,
Old age, sorrow and sickness,
She�s left them all behind,
But we who wept beside her grave,
Knew not that death was kind.
We wish to thank our many friends of Corsicana, Palestine,
Houston, Dallas and Louisiana for their kind expressions of
sympathy in their floral offerings, words of consolation and
deeds during the illness and death of our loved one, Gladys
Mackie Smalling. And especially to Dr. Johns, Dr. Creel, Dr.
Regesby, Miss Mary Pickett and all the nursing staff of Highland
Hospital of Shreveport, La. we are grateful for their
never-ceasing efforts. And to Bro Byrd and wife of Lisbon, La.,
for their words of consolation. Also Dr. Cartlidge of First
Baptist church of Corsicana and Harold Blankinship of this city
for his beautiful song. May God�s richest blessing be upon you
all.�Tom Smalling and Family, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mack Hagle and
family.

Christi Lynn
(Mitchell) Cheshire
April 9, 1962 - Jun 29, 2018
Christi
Lynne Mitchell Cheshire passed away June 29, 2018 at the age
of 56.
Christi was born in Corsicana, Texas, in Navarro County on
April 9, 1962 to George Thomas Mitchell and Zoe Anne
Calloway Branch. Being a country girl from the farm, Christi
grew up loving animals. She was very active in FFA in high
school, taking part in many judging and leadership contests.
She was also a star athlete on the volleyball court for the
Corsicana Tigers and graduated in 1980.
It was while she was in FFA, that Christi first met her
future husband, Harvie Ellison Cheshire as their paths
crossed many times. The two were married on July 12, 1986
and were married almost 32 years. During that time, they
were blessed with five children, two daughters-in-law, and
five grandchildren. She was very proud of being a Tiger Mom.
As both Christi and Harvie came from large family
backgrounds, they agreed early on that family would always
come first. Christi lived for her children and
grandchildren.
After graduating from Stephen F. Austin University with a
Master's Degree in Education, Christi devoted her entire
adult life to educating others and finding a way to make a
difference in their lives. She devoted thirty-three total
years to secondary education, starting out as a math
teacher. Her current position was as Dean of Students at A&M
Consolidated High School. It was common practice for her to
work long hours and weekends to ensure that every detail was
covered. She would spend countless hours tutoring those who
needed a little something extra to help them. Whether the
help was to a graduate from high school to prepare for SATs
or ACTs, get into college, or even to maintain a sound GPA
once in college, Christi was there. Whatever the need,
whatever the situation, and whatever the issue, she would
show up, set up, and help out.
When Christi was not at work, she enjoyed quilting. She
created some of the most beautiful quilts along with
handmade art decorations. She loved anything that would
challenge her mind. The more difficult the better, as
Christi was able to multitask better than anyone. She saw
this as one of the benefits of having OCD, which she would
say was C.D.O. since that was more correct because it was in
alphabetical order. She also loved to play board games and
dominos. She was a fierce competitor. She was a proud member
of the Bunco Babes of the Brazos Valley.
Christi leaves behind her husband, Harvie Ellison Cheshire;
her son and daughter-in-law, Christopher D. and Jennifer
Cheshire; her son and daughter-in-law, Bradley E. and Holly
Ann Cheshire; her daughter, Danielle E. Cheshire; her son,
Jaylan M. Cheshire and girlfriend, Sabrina Havemann; her
grandchildren, Raeleigh Mitchell Cheshire, Brailyn Harper
Cheshire, Aria Lynne Marcum, Ellisyn Mae Cheshire, and
Bullet Elijah Cheshire; her mother, Zoe Ann Calloway Branch
and husband, Byron Branch; and her brother and
sister-in-law, George Brian and Crystal Mitchell. She was
preceded in death by her father, George Thomas Mitchell; and
her daughter, Dora Lee Cheshire.
To honor Christi's life, her family has planned a private
visitation on Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at 3 PM at Hillier
Funeral Home of College Station. Her Life Celebration will
be Friday, July 6 at 2 PM at A&M Consolidated High School.
