Obituary
Sadly, we lost our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Mary “Joan” Mitchell. Joan passed away on May 28, 2024 peacefully.
Joan enjoyed golf, cooking, painting and flower arranging. She also played tennis actively in Baltimore, where she was born and raised her five children.
Joan and Lloyd Mitchell were married forty-eight years and were active members of Piper’s Landing Yacht and Country Club. Some of her proudest accomplishments include two holes in one at the Rehoboth Country Club and The Piper’s Landing Yacht and Country Club; helping to plant and dedicate the feel, touch and smell garden at the Maryland School for the Blind; and as a charter member of the Woodland Garden Club where she received many blue ribbons for her flower arrangements.
Joan is survived by her loving children; Mary Claire McCormick of Virginia, Susan Randall Mitchell of North Carolina, Jamie Mitzo of Florida and Lloyd Emerson Mitchell of Florida; her 15 grandchildren and her 17 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her oldest daughter Kathryn Emerson Dunbar of Washington D.C. and her late husband Lloyd Emerson Mitchell.
There will be a private service for immediate family on June 7, 2024 at 10:00am.

In remembrance of Joan’s life, the family asks that any charitable donations be made to St. Jude.
