Her courage and determination in the

sweet sister, sweet aunt, sweet wife, sweet mother, sweet friend,
we all will miss you so. Though the sorrow of your passing is hard
to bear, we understand that you had to go. May God hold you in his
loving embrace until we meet again.

1960 to Robert and Esther Mitchell. She was the youngest daughter
