On May 5, 2023, God sent for His Angel Martha Cofield also known as Ms. Alice, to leave her earthly home and say farewell as she entered her heavenly home. Martha was born on March 13, 1958, to Robert James Pitts and Willie Kitchen aka Ms. Boot. She received her education in the Atlanta Public School System where she graduated from David T. Howard. Her greatest accomplishment was her beautiful children. She loved to dance and have a good time. She had a blunt personality, always direct and straight to the point, Martha had zero tolerance for nonsense yet maintained a funny sense of humor. We will always remember her from her most memorable sayings, “And?”, “Honey”, “Because I said so”, “Who you talking to?”, but mostly “I love you too”. She leaves to cherish her memories her parents: Robert James Pitts and Willie Kitchen. Her four loving children: Yanis Cofield, KeRon Cofield, Myoko Jackson, Amesha Cofield. Her seven sisters: Robintine Pitts-Wright, Bobbie Pitts, Dorethia Pitts, Quency Standifer, Rhonda Cofield, Talisha Washington, Jeannie Cofield. One brother: Alvin Cofield Jr. Thirteen nieces and nephews: Rebina, Kitty, Shonda, Shronda, Michael Jr., Ervin, Bryia, Quan, Punkin, Drea, Jana, Alvin. Nine grandkids: Omesha, Jacara, Daquavious, Dawayne, Jaylen, Jordan, Nia, Kayden and KeRon Jr. One great-grand: Loyal and a host of grand and great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family, and friends. She will be missed by her family, friends and all that knew her.
With tears in my eyes and pain in my heart, I replay the should haves could haves over and over in my head, thinking selfishly that I wasn’t ready for you to go, Acknowledging that my opportunity to do more had expired; ignoring how tired you were and that you had gracefully accepted the urge to rest peacefully forever. In my eyes so soon and sudden, but in my heart, I will always cherish memories of a daughter, sister, mother, and Aunt that condoned no nonsense, in addition to smart, fashionable, funny, beautiful and a rebel. Ms. Auntie Alice, who introduced me to dill pickles and lemon with salt, that will never be forgotten but forever missed. -Regina
May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights? I lived my life and done my best, an example I've tried to be. So can I take that step beyond the light and set my spirit free? I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to that warm and loving light. I want to go, I really do, it's difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day. To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears. I know you're sad and are afraid, because I see your tears. I'll not be far, I promise that, and I hope you'll always know. That my spirit will be close to you Where ever you may go. Thank you so for loving me and know that I love you too. That's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you. So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say, "Because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.
