Mildred B. “Millie” Feagins, age 93, went home to the Lord on February 11, 2020. She was a lifelong resident of Bristol, Tennessee, and attended both Milligan College and Sullins College. Millie was a devoted wife, loving mother and mother-in-law, and a doting meemaw. She was a homemaker and retired bookkeeper. At the time of her passing, she was a member of Central Christian Church in Bristol, Tennessee.
Millie was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, George R. Feagins. She is survived by her son Rob Feagins and his wife Susan of Abingdon, Virginia, and her beloved grandson Austin Feagins of Charlotte, North Carolina.
At Millie’s request, there will be no visitation or formal service. Family and friends are invited to gather for a brief graveside memorial at Weaver’s Cemetery, on Weaver Pike in Bristol, Tennessee at 11 a.m., on Saturday, February 15, 2020. Minister Mark Overton of Central Christian Church will officiate.
The family wishes to express their appreciation to the caring staff of Commonwealth Senior Living in Abingdon, Virginia, and the hospice staff of Caris Healthcare Virginia.

Robbie,
I am so sorry for your loss. Millie was a fine lady , a dear friend to my Mom and to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. With my deepest sympathy.
Rest in peace dear Mildred. You have been a part of my life since I was 12 years old as was George and that ads up to a very long time. I am 81 years old. I loved you both then and I love you now. God is good. What rejoicing there must be in heaven.
Such fond memories of your Mom…she was so sweet to everyone. A wonderful, faithful Christian! May you find comfort in the joy she has now, reuniting with your Dad and knowing we’ll be there, too, one day!!! What a day that will be!
Thoughts and prayers….Faye Elswick and Stephanie and Melanie
I would like to extend my sympathy to your family in the loss of your mother. I saw where someone posted her obituary on Facebook and that she was the daughter of Grant Ball. My mother is Virginia Ball Long the daughter of James David (JD) Ball. She and your mother were cousins . My mother is 92 years old and is in the last stage of Alzheimer’s disease . She does not speak much anymore but when I showed your mother’s picture to her she lit up. I asked her if that was her cousin Mildred and she nodded. I just wanted to let you know that she does still have a memory of your mother and it made her smile. I know she would want me to extend her sympathies to you and your family.
