Mona Ophelia McBride

Mona Guest McBride, 90 of Rock Spring, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 in a local healthcare facility.

Mona was born in Alabama and graduated from Sylvania High School. She lived for many years in Rossville, GA before settling in Rock Spring and was a member of Rock Spring United Methodist Church. Mona was a diligent and practical homemaker for many years. She was a talented cook and collected many recipes over the years. Mona enjoyed working in her vegetable garden and in later years attended Mid-South Beauty School where she earned a certificate in cosmetology. She operated her own beauty salon out of her home and enjoyed her work. 

Mona was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Doyle McBride; parents, Benjamin and Pairlee Guest; and seven siblings.

Survivors include her children, LeBron (Debbie) McBride and Kay (Jimmy) Jones; grandchildren, Ashleigh (Phillip) Triplett, Matt (Lindsey) Jones, Anna (Dan Oprisch) McBride, and Ben McBride; one great grandson, Lucian Triplett; two brothers-in-law, six sisters-in-law; and several nieces and nephews.

Due to the current health restrictions, a private family graveside service will be held at Lakewood Memory Gardens, South with Minister Eric Johnson officiating.  A public memorial service will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions in Mona’s honor may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org.
