Patsy June Mitchell

1929 - 2024

Patsy June Mitchell, 94, passed away peacefully March 25, 2024, at Cornerstone Hospice of Clermont.
Patsy was born June 6, 1929, in Hunter, Arkansas.
She moved to DeLand in 1966 with a high-school education and six children.
Patsy worked for three years at Keller Cabinets, then went to Sparton Electronics, then to a local CPA, and finally to Brunswick Corp. in 1974.
Taking college courses in Daytona Beach, she graduated with a business degree and became a contract specialist at Brunswick.
As an individual, Patsy always aspired to greatness and thrived to be a leader in everything she did. She became very involved in the community.
Patsy was an active member of Athens of Florida Business and Professional Women, serving two terms as president, two years as district director, and was chairwoman for their 75th anniversary.
She received the Woman of the Year Award in 1981, and was honored with a scholarship award in her name given to a DeLand High School graduate every year. She also served on the board of the Pilot Club of West Volusia, and was a member of the Red Hat Society.
Retiring from Brunswick in 1994, Patsy became a Mary Kay consultant. She was an avid dancer and served on the board of the U.S. Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association. She was a clogger with Gator Country Cloggers and Daytona Beach International Folk Dancers.
Patsy traveled to Europe, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii. She enjoyed reading in her spare time, and was active in Pilgrim Community Church, later becoming a member of Stetson Baptist Church.
Patsy always lived life with class and style. In her lifetime, she has been a devoted daughter, a loving sister, a faithful wife, and a terrific mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Patsy is preceded in death by her son, Jeffrey Mitchell (Vicki). She is survived by daughter Kathy Henderson (Sonny); son Jim Mitchell (Sandy); daughter Patricia; daughter Janice Senninger (Tom); son David Mitchell (Julie); nine grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Patsy led a full and rewarding life and was a genuine member of the greatest generation. We will miss her very much.
