She was born to Irene (Phillips) and Mack Eldridge on February 5, 1948, in Christopher, Illinois and they have preceeded her in death along with her husband, Tom Mitchell and sister Rhonda Craig.
She lived in Christopher most of her life. She graduated with the class of 1966 and they were all like family to her. She was the majorette in high school and had very fond memories and was proud of doing it.
She is survived by one brother, Allen (Shirley) Eldridge and her daughters: Carman Gray, Sara (James) Harris and Kiley Smith. She was very proud of her ten grandchildren: Autumn Harris, Caleb (Tawsha) Gray, Mitchell (Kayce) Phinney, Elace Branche, Makaila (Cole Newman) Todd, Dakota (Allie) Borchelt, Mallory Neal, Chloe Mays, Lily Smith and Lydia Smith. She was also blessed with eight great grandchildren: Trevor Essex, Lillian Phinney, Greyson Essex, Elijah Keller, Aubry Phinney, Katerina “Kit Kat” Gray, MJ Phinney and Gloria Gray. And also some special friends Eric Giles, Amanda Bloodworth and Crystal.
She enjoyed her job as a domestic goddess, fishing, woodworking, gardening and crafts.
A celebration of life will embark on July 5th, 2022, from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM at the Gilbert Funeral Home in Christopher, Illinois.
Not knowing if it was because of her humor or sarcasm, when asked what she wanted her obituary to say she simply answered “bye”.
