It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wanda Gail Mitchell, age 61, of Mulberry, TN, who passed away on August 24, 2026, at HH Lincoln Health. Born on May 17, 1965, in Muscle Shoals, AL, to the late Herbert Evans and Dorothy Jean Crowel Evans, Wanda was a devoted mother and a proud grandmother whose heart was always happiest when surrounded by her family. She lived a life centered on the simple joys that mattered most, whether she was casting a line on quiet fishing trips, listening to her favorite country music, or taking trips back to Waterloo, AL—the cherished town where she raised her family and made countless treasured memories. Her warmth, love, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Wanda is survived by her children, Aaron (Brittany) Mitchell of Mulberry, TN, and Trista Simmons of Winchester, TN; her cherished grandchildren, Allisa Woods, Bailey Pruitt, Evan Pruitt, Huntlee Walker, and Aarion Mitchell; her great-grandchild, Myland; and her siblings, Michelle Sledge, Shirley Brown, and Rusty Evans. In addition to her beloved parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Randy Evans, Ricky Evans, and Betty Jean Evans.

Higgins Funeral Home is privileged to offer comfort, care, and support to the family of Wanda Gail Mitchell.
