"Sister Mitchell is a wonderful person. I was fortunate to be able to be in the Brigham City 17th ward with her and Elvin. I always thought so much of her and her strong testimony she would share quite frequently. She is a wonderful example."

"What a special Lady! Despite having her own four children, she took on the rearing of orphaned relatives, all the while working as a nurse full time..... Marinda collected antiques way before it became a craze to do so... so had a house full of collectibles that made the living room a showcase.... How many women had the gumption to get scuba certified with her teenage daughter ? Marinda did! Good hearted, happy laughing Marinda loved her kids so much. The world and everyone will miss her dearly. Rest in Peace dear Lady. Love Barb's friend Lynn "
