CYNTHIA WOODS MITCHELL Sept. 24, 1922 ~ Dec. 27, 2009 Defying our predictions when she was the healthiest and liveliest person we had ever known, Mother proved to be mortal. Through a decade of Alzheimer's Disease, we learned to let go as the ball of fire that blazed a broad arc over so many...

Not sure what to say?

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I loved your Mother so much and I am so sorry for your loss and sadness at this time. When my own mother passed I felt her joy so I believe that your mother is just as joyous. Why should she be different in spirit form than she always expressed her life in her physical form? She role modelled for me in so many ways. And she showed me how to mother a child with love and joy. I thank her and each of you for gifting me with yourselves when I was young. I just talked to my brother and his wife...

Memories, Grit and Determination - We Honor you CWM

To: Scott and George Mitchell Though I have lived in the area one block next to The Woodlands for 35 yrs since Aug 1974, and 11 years spent working for Mitchell Energy, I never had the privilege or pleasure of personally meeting Mrs. Mitchell. I worked for a short period for you Scott at Life forms, and listened to you occasionally sharing great family stories of what must have been a very full and busy time. My own mother is in her 80's and experiencing fairly significant memory issues,...

To Sheridan,

Many sympathies at the loss of your mother. May her legacies and accomplishments give you and your families many remarkable memories. I spent a week in your Oaxacan home in August with my Galveston cousin and look forward to returning soon. It is apparent to all that you share many of your mother's gracious ways and talents.

What an American story, of hard-work, tenecity, grit, values and a dream. We need more people like Mrs. Woods to show us how to live...

I feel very blessed to have known Cynthia, danced to flamenco music with her, and arranged flowers with her in her "parlor" and listened to music that she so loved with her. Even in her illness she was a magnificent person. My sincere sympathy to husband George and to the entire Mitchell family. May the wonderful memories you hold in your heart help to sustain you now and until you meet again.

Skye & Ariel-
I never knew your greatgrandmother personally, but I know YOU, and it is clear that her spirit, generousity and love of life run through your veins. To Meredith, Scott, Sheridan, Grant,and Kirk, and Mr. Mitchell, whose acquaintance I have made, I send my condolences.
Your friend in Charleston,
Quality Quinn


I knew her as Mrs. Mitchell; mother of best friend Scott since elementary school. I spent a lot of time in her home.

Mrs. Mitchell was a pretty lady with a Maureen O'hara kind of aura. A bit of Irish temper when we were out of line, yet kind and caring.

I look forward to seeing her many children at the service. She was every bit a success as a mother as in her many philanthropic and charitable endeavors. That's a wonderful legacy to celebrate.
