Mr William Mitchell Sr.

 

William Mitchell Sr. 100, of Tallulah, Louisiana, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, March 23, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and devotion to family. A proud World War II veteran, he served his country honorably in the United States Army Air Corps.

 

He preceded in death all but two of his six children from his previous marriage, Shirley Holden and Margaret Hawkins, all of whom he loved deeply.

In his later years, he enjoyed spending time at the Council on Aging, playing dominoes, and sharing laughter with friends.
