MARION MITCHELL Obituary

Marion McLellan Mitchell passed away peacefully on May 18, 2024, in her ninety-first year, in palliative care at Mackenzie Health, Richmond Hill. Born in Glasgow, Scotland on July 8, 1933, she spent her adult life living in Richmond Hill, with her beloved husband Ron, who passed away in 2006. She lived her life with grace and dignity and was deeply involved in the community, most notably with the hospital where she served as a volunteer for many years, and as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1987 to 1992, at what was then York Central Hospital (now Mackenzie Health). She spent a lifetime singing in church choirs, beginning at the age of six. She is survived by her sons, Ron and Bruce; her daughter-in-law Diane; and grandchildren Laura, Alanna, Benjamin, Owen, and Andrew. She will be deeply missed and remembered for her kindness and compassion for others ahead of herself. A celebration of her life will be held at Thornhill Presbyterian Church, 271 Centre Street, Thornhill on Wednesday, May 29 at 1:00 p.m. I lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the church at tpchurch.net

To Ron and Family: Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved mom, Marion. I was her companion and friend, and it was always a pleasure to see her. She was a wonderful person, and I thoroughly enjoyed our visits together. We watched TV, checked out magazines, played cards and had great conversations about the family. She was such a special person, and always made sure that if I gave her a snack, I had to have one also. She talked about how she loved her sons and appreciated everything they did for her, as well as how special and kind Diane was to her. My cutest memory was when she wanted to try on my running shoe, so we switched shoes. I had on her slipper and she wore my running shoe. She thought that was so funny, so we kept them on until Ron came home to see us. She was always fun to be with, and I will deeply miss her very much. May the wonderful memories you shared over the years comfort you and your family at this extremely difficult time. Rest in Peace.
