Mae J. (Miller) Mitchell, 83, wife of the late George S. Mitchell, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at Chestnut Knoll in Boyertown.

Born in New Berlinville, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Helen (Werstler) Miller.

Mae loved the ocean. She thoroughly enjoyed her vacations to Ocean City, NJ and visiting lighthouses in Maine. She was skillful with needle point cross-stitching and enjoyed making things for her family. Weekly Bible study with her friends was very important to her.

Surviving is her son Sam Mitchell, husband of Gina; daughter Sherrie Drumheller, wife of Allan; sister Margie Ehst, wife of Fred; grandchildren Scott Mitchell, Tricia Mitchell, fiancé of Anthony Skelton, Dexter Drumheller, husband of Ashley, and Lyndsay Schlegel, wife of Matthew. She is predeceased by her sister Barbara Johnson and her brother Bobby Miller.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association in Mae's name.
