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.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Christi's name for to CSISD Education Foundation Christi Cheshire 1812 Welsh College Station, TEXAS 77840 or https://givetokids.csisd.org
