A CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Hi Family! It was so good to see all of you last week. We all have had an emotional and comforting week with the passing of Grandma. Im so thankful that we have such a strong family that come together and support each other during this time. I was so relieved to know that she is reunited with the love of her life. Her funeral was a great celebration of her life and even though we are sad she is gone, we are so comforted knowing that she is back with our heavenly father and her eternal companion.

With her passing- we really all need to keep traditions going and get together for our annual family reunion and holiday get togethers, its what they would want and I know that Grandma looked forward to the get togethers and truly enjoyed the family bond we had. I know that everyones life is busy with kids, work, and other family obligations- but we HAVE to make it a priority to continue the reunions and get togethers.

I have posted a few pictures of the funeral. Please feel free to send me some to post, I wasnt able to get everyones family, so if you have some please send them!!!

In Loving Memory

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR MOTHER & GRANDMOTHER

LILLIAN LORRAINE SANDERS MITCHELL

JANUARY 05, 1928 - OCTOBER 20,2008

Our mother, Lillian Sanders Mitchell, has been re-united with her beloved husband Max P. Mitchell. Mom passed away peacefully on Oct 20, 2008 surrounded by her family. She was born January 5, 1928 in Young, Arizona to Malcolm Martin Sanders and Blanche Evelyn Clark. Mom was an only child until her father married Louise Simmons later in life, and gave her three sisters and one brother; Charlotte, Janis, Malcolm, and Mary.

Mom married the love of her life, Max P. Mitchell in Provo, Utah on November 26, 1948, and was later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in September 1951. Together they raised five children, Max S. (Elizabeth) Mitchell, Jon R. (Kaye) Mitchell, Janene (Chris) Weiss, Joseph E. (Alyn) Mitchell, and Lynn K. (Kristine) Mitchell. She was also blessed with 23 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren.

Mom was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She loved the Gospel and was a true example of Christ-like love. She served in many positions in the Primary and Relief Society. Mom and Dad were able to serve two missions together in Columbia, South Carolina and London, England before Dad passed away in December 1993.

Mom loved spending time with her family and looked forward to special occasions when they all came together. She enjoyed reading, singing, puzzles and old movies. Mom was a talented artist and her paintings grace the homes of her children and grandchildren.

Mom was preceded in death by her husband Max; her parents Malcolm Sanders, Evelyn Sanders and her step-mother Louise Sanders. Mom is also survived by her sister-in-law Katherine M. Pitt.

Funeral services will be held Friday, October 24, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at the Grandview 7th Ward Chapel, 1120 N 850 W, Provo. Friends may call Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 E. Center Street and on Friday one hour prior to the services at the chapel. Interment will be at East Lawn Memorial Hills. Condolences may be sent to info@bergmortuary.com.

A special thanks to the Kaye, Amberlee and staff at The Victorian House, Assisted Living for the special care they gave our mother.

Hello Family

Well Hello there Mitchell Clan!


We are so glad that you have decided to stop by and see whats new with the family. Our family has grown so much and become so big, that when we have get togethers or events, we are never able to get all together at the same time. We appreciate the support that each family member gives by showing up to baby showers, bridal showers, babtisms, blessings, family reunions, weddings and more. We understand that schedules are hard to work around and this is the place for everyone to come to on their free time to catch up on the family news. We will update the blog once a month. Look forward to hearing news about births, weddings, birthdays, achievements, sports, family memories and more. I have asked each family to designate a member to be in charge of their "family news" and once a month I will send out a reminder to send in a letter, pics, or update on everyone status. I will then upload the information for each family and post it for ALL to see. This will be the place to hear about upcoming events for the family, so that everyone is "in the loop" and aware of everyones life. I enjoy catching up with my cousins and love hearing about their activities and stories since the last time I visisted with them, I just cant wait for everyone to be able to go to one to this blog to post things that are going on, or just to read about what everyone has been up too.

The family is so important to me and I know Grandpa Mitchell wants us to stick together and have a strong bond with one another, regardless of how big our families grow, where our jobs take us or what differences we may have.

I hope that everyone is excited about this new family blog and please feel free to put any news you may have. we are going to try and do many other things with this blog, such as Grandmas corner, where she can write a memory about her kids, grandkids, husband or what her activities at the home have been. We will list birthdays- so we can all give shout outs to the birthday boy/girl. We also will have a recipe exchange, where we will list family favorites and share with each other what we love to bake, cook or snack on!

We want to have updated pics of each family, so send pics often!! This blog is for you and we want to know what you want to see on it also.

The family has an email where all coorespondance for the blog should be sent too. Please give at least a day for your information to be added to the blog. I know I am stay at home mommy, but I will designate a certain time each day to uploading information to the blog.

ALSO IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PRIVATE BLOG- PLEASE SEND ME THE LINK, I WILL PUT THE LINK ON THIS FAMILY BLOG! I KNOW A FEW IN MY FAMILY HAVE ONE AND ITS GREAT FOR ONLINE JOURNALING!!

CHECK BACK AFTER THE FAMILY REUNION- FOR MORE NEWS AND PICS OF OUR
REUNION!

I look forward to seeing you all at the reunion. Loves to you all!
