    Shirley was an outstanding clubwoman and mentor to those of us who worked with her. She was unfailingly gracious and kind. I will miss her.

    I am so sorry to learn of Shirley�s passing. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I have known Shirley as a GFWC Federation sister for many years. She had such a passion for volunteerism and was a shining star for our Mohican Memorial Shrine. �The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They're the ones who care.� Shirley cared deeply and I will truly miss her presence in my life. RIP Shirley you are now with your beloved husband!! Patrice

    Kevin and Kenny, So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I just heard about it today. Take comfort in knowing she is with your Dad again. The two of them were inseparable. I am sure there is a grand party going on just like the 4th of July events at Aunt Flossie's when were little kids...with all the family in heaven.

    Kenny and Kevin my heart breaks for you. You have gone through so much this year. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Your parents will be sadly missed as they did so much for the community. I hope that you can find some peace in the fact that they are together again. I don't know many couples that were meant to be together as much as they were. They sure did set an example for all of us. Take care of yourselves!

    Dear Mitchell family, I knew Shirley from Women's Club and actually did some work for her when she was State President. She was a lovely lady and a real "giver" to the community. You have my sincere sympathy. Dee Dee Higgins

    I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the Mitchell family. During her most recent hospital stay, I had the opportunity to care for Mrs. Mitchell and spend some time talking with her. With that said, she is now reunited with her husband that she so dearly missed. Rest in peace, Shirley.
