Notes for Mildred Louise Baity
Mildred Baity Misenheimer

GOLD HILL - Mildred Baity Misenheimer, of Gold Hill, went home to be with her Lord and Savior April 28, 2010, at Rowan Regional Medical Center, Salisbury, following a brief illness.

Born Oct. 10, 1929, in Rowan County, she was the daughter of the late John Henry and Minnie Sloop Baity.

She attended First Baptist Church of Rockwell and was a member of the Friendship Sunday School Class. Mildred was a graduate of Granite Quarry High School [1949] and Salisbury Beauty College.

She was a beautician for many years in Rockwell. Later, she worked alongside her husband, Bill, at Liberty Feed and Seed, a well-known community store in Liberty.

She had great fun "bull-shootin" as she called it with all of her many friends who came to hang out at the store. She made tremendous, life-long friendships from her time spent there.

Mildred enjoyed going to church; volunteering at Liberty Volunteer Fire Department for the past 60 years making the famous Liberty chicken-n-dumplings; and fellowshipping with family and friends. Most of all, she loved spending time and making memories with her precious grandchildren, Callie and Wyatt, and great-grandson Dustin.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, John Harold Ketchie, on Jan. 5, 1956, to whom she was married for six years; her second husband, W.W. "Bill" Misenheimer, on March 28, 2008, to whom she was married to for 40 years; brothers Harold Baity, Earl Baity, Carl Baity, Boyd Baity, Jimmy Baity; and sister Helen Miller.

She is survived by three children, Elaine Ketchie Eller of Gold Hill, Jimmy Ketchie and Lisa Misenheimer Trexler and husband Darrin, all of Salisbury; five grandchildren, Eric Eller and Melanie Eller Peeler, both of Gold Hill, Summer Ketchie Reavis, Callie Trexler and Wyatt Trexler, all of Salisbury; one great-grandson, Dustin Earnhardt of Gold Hill; brother Richard Baity; and sister Catherine Eagle, both of Salisbury.

The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Amy Wilson, Dr. Neil Patel, Dr. Jonathan Storey and the Critical Care and Respiratory Staff at Rowan Regional Medical Center for the loving care given to our Mother.

Visitation: The family will receive friends at Powles Funeral Home Friday, April 30, from 6-8 p.m.; and at the home of daughter Elaine Eller the remainder of the time.

Funeral: The Funeral Service will be held Saturday, May 1 at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church of Rockwell with Pastor Matthew Laughter and Rev. Bruce Sheeks officiating. Mildred will lie in state in the church 30 minutes prior to the funeral service. Burial will be at St. Matthews Lutheran Church Cemetery.

Memorials: May be made to First Baptist Church, Rockwell, NC

Powles Funeral Home of Rockwell is assisting the Misenheimer family.
