Mitchell Edward Vaughn, Sr.

Memorial service for Mitchell Edward Vaughn, Sr. will be Tuesday, April 6, at McLaurin Height Baptist Church. Visitation is 5:30-8 p.m., Monday, April 5 and will resume Tuesday, from 11:30-12:30 p.m. before the services.

Mr. Vaughn, 72, of Pearl, finished his journey here and entered his eternal rest April 2, 2021. He began his life journey November 26, 1948, born to his parents, Julius Edward “Peck” Vaughan and Agnes Verlyn Smith Vaughan. He worked in the education field for many years, and he was a member of McLaurin Heights Baptist Church. Mr. Vaughn enjoyed the simple things in life as well, hunting and fishing, but nothing compared to the time spent with his grands and great grands. He will be greatly missed by his family and all that knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Those who remain to cherish his memory are his wife, Paula Vaughn; son, Mitchell Vaughn, Jr. (Rhonda); daughter, Michele Summerlin (Jimbo); brothers, Tim Vaughan (Robin) and Billy Vaughn (Nancy); sister, Chris Maddox (Roger); four grandchildren, Daniele Smith (Caleb), Chelsea Smith, Sean Vaughn, Katelynn Harvey (Darieo); and great grandchildren, Arianna & Kiya Harvey, Edward Smith, and soon to arrive Eleanor.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Center for Violence Prevention, www.mscvp.org

    I got to know Mickey the last couple of years while sitting in a waiting area at UMMC, Such a wonderful and kind person. Mickey knew just what to say and lift us up during Jack’s sickness. My heart goes out to his precious family during this time and the days ahead. Thanks for being a great friend ?

    I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing him personally, but I have prayed for him and his family. We can thank God for our memories. They will bring you laughter and tears. Share them with your family. May God comfort all of his family.

    The oldest of the Vaughn kids. I grew up with his younger siblings so I didn’t get to know Mickey as well as I did Chris, Tim and Billy. If he was anything at all like his parents and brothers n sister, then he was a fine example of man. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure he will be missed.
