The son of the late William Mitchell and Ruby Bibs, William was born in Wilmington, DE in 1960. He attended and graduated from Christiana High School, Class of 1977. After completing his education, William went on to become an entrepreneur and owned his own business.
In his spare time, William loved taking beach getaway trips with his wife, spending time with his granddaughters, and enjoying football games and Nascar races with his many friends.

William is survived by his loving wife, Carol (Lewicki) Mitchell, of Magnolia, DE; his son, Billy Mitchell of Magnolia, DE; his daughter, Kimberly Taraila (Timothy) of Georgia; his granddaughters, Riley, Nevaeh, and Kayla of Georgia; and many other extended family and friends.
