Kathryn “Marie” Mitchell, 97, of Millsboro and Ocean View, Del., passed away in the care of Atlantic Shores Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Millsboro on July 3, 2016. She was born March 10, 1919, to the late William Calvin Wingate and Virginia Brittingham Wingate in Dagsboro, Del.

Mitchell attended the Blackwater Country School and then graduated from Lord Baltimore High School, Class of 1937. She married her husband, Wilbur L. Mitchell, on May 18, 1940, and he preceded her in death on Oct. 17, 1992. She was a lifelong member of Hickory Hill UMC, where she served in many capacities.

Mitchell was a wonderful mother who loved the “farm life” and being part of a large family. She was a woman of great faith, a workaholic who was amazing in her capacity to pick fruit fast with both hands. She possessed a very positive attitude and was an encourager to all she met. She loved to sing and visit Cape Hatteras and Maine, along with gardening and travel.

In addition to her parents and husband, Mitchell was preceded in death by four brothers, George, Warren, Billy and Lemuel Wingate; four sisters, Ida Wingate, Pauline Quillen, Betty Derrickson and Grace Hudson; and a son-in-law, Harry McClung. She is survived by her daughter and best friend, Luray McClung of Millsboro and Ocean View; her grandsons, Asher McClung of Millsboro, Aaron McClung and his wife, Christina Maria, of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; her great-grandsons, Asher Luke and Isaac Andrew McClung of Toronto; several nieces and nephews; and a sister, Faye Daisey of Wapwallopen, Pa.

Services were scheduled for July 11, 2016, at Watson Funeral Home, with the Rev. Norman Poultney officiating and interment following at Millsboro Cemetery in Millsboro, Del. Flowers are welcome, or memorial contributions can be made to Hickory Hill United Methodist Church.
