Rose Mitchell

MITCHELL, Rose….

With her husband at her side on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, after a courageous and valiant two year battle with ovarian cancer, Rose (Westhaver) Mitchell in her 65th year, has been reunited with her Mother and Father in heaven. Rose was a cherished and beloved wife, mother, grandmother and sister. She was a lover of music and a talented pianist who graduated from the University of Western Ontario Music Program. Rose was a dedicated member of the Hyde Park United Church Choir for over 25 years and a Walmart employee for over 30 years. She spent her summers at the Pinery, and was a lover of nature and animals.

Rose leaves behind her dedicated and loving husband of 45 years, David Mitchell and three adoring daughters, Lisa (Craig), Sarah (Justin) and Laura (Mark). Her three grandchildren, Evelyn, Joe and Danielle will miss her terribly. She is also survived by her brother Spurgeon, and sisters Faith (Dwaine), Carol (Zoran) and Grace (Rick) and too many nieces and nephews to name, including four great nephews. She is predeceased by her father Reverend Clyde G. Westhaver (2019) and her mother, Evelyn Westhaver (1980).

Her genuine kindness and unselfishness will be remembered by all those who knew her. Christmas will never be the same, she always hosted and gave so much of her time and love. She will be remembered for her fortitude and courage that she showed during the most challenging times and we will never forget her love and goodness.
