“Julia” Patricia Mitchell
1919-2019
With heavy hearts, we say farewell to our beautiful mother,
Julia Patricia (nee McGaughey) Mitchell, who died peacefully
surrounded by family at Beach Grove Home on Tuesday, March 26, 2019,
just shy of her 100th birthday. She was predeceased by her husband of
72 ½ years, R. Gerald Mitchell, in 2014. Left to mourn her
passing are her much-loved family, Gerald Jr. (Sheila), Morgan (Rose,
deceased), Regan (Colette), David (Merilyn), Julia (Claude Parent),
John (Claire Nantes), and Mary (Al Dowling). “Nancy” took
great pride in her 23 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, 2
great-great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
A fiercely devoted wife and mother of proud Irish descent,
she truly believed, “There’s nothing like
family.”
Julia was the last surviving member of the family
of Pius and Margaret (O’Regan) McGaughey. She was also
predeceased by her brother and sister-in-law Morgan and Sylvia
McGaughey, sister and brother-in-law Mary and Don McAllister, in-laws
Charles and Loretto Mitchell, Marjorie and Frank O’Keefe,
Betty and Gordon McWade, Mary and Lou Hennessey, and Marion
Mitchell.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Brecken
House, and Meadow and Sunset Units of Beach Grove for their
professional, compassionate, and loving care of our mother. You truly
are angels.
