So sorry to hear of Ms. Lillian's passing. I have known her a long time. I worked with her a long time at Levi Strauss. What a worker? She was amazing. She was the type of person that always met you with a smile and a kind word. She loved her family and she showed Christ love to everyone. Then she came to Pine Oaks years later and I got to be with her again. What an honor to see her again and to be able to be a part of her life in a different kind of way. She was a special lady and I will miss her. Will be praying for her sweet family. Lots of love, Karen Gentry

We had the pleasure of meeting Lillian at City view. She was so energetic, sweet, and had a great sense of humor. Not to mention a great cook. So happy she had a long full happy life. We always enjoyed talking with Harvey and Donnie, she was well taken care of by all of her kids.
Heaven just got even more sweeter.

Lillian was a precious lady and a very proud mom. I have a sweet memory of her pride in the fact that she raise twin boys. I’m sure it was a challenge, knowing Ronnie and Donnie as I do. Just feeding those two was a weeks work every day. The Mitchell kids were blessed with an awesome momma. I know she will be dearly missed. The world is a much better place today because of the life lived by Mrs. Mitchell.

So sorry to hear about Ms Mitchell’s passing. She was such a lovely lady and an awesome Christian and at one time a neighbor. Our family lived across the street from her on Dave Buck Road. She was always so kind and willing to help her neighbors. God bless the family. Our prayers are with you. We will see her again one day.

To all the Mitchell children, Lillian will be greatly missed, I was honored to have gotten to care for your Mom she was a hoot. I expectedly love it when was in a talking mood. In her mind we cooked soup beans and cornbread. Sometimes she would even talk about mowing her on grass in short showing off her leggs..lol that was a very good night. I will miss her dearly.
