After serving as a Pastor in Mississippi Southern Baptist Churches for over 56 years, The Rev. Bernette Fielder, 84, of Gore Springs heard the words "Well done, good and faithful servant", as he transitioned to Heaven from his home with his family by his side on the morning of Wednesday, April 1, 2020. Bernette was born September 7, 1935 in Kilmichael the youngest of seven children to Rufus Allen and Lela Mae Greenlee Fielder. Rev. Fielder attended Clarke College and Mississippi College and was a member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. In his retirement years, he enjoyed woodworking and was a devoted animal lover.  Rev.
