Julie Ann Mitchell's Obituary
Julie Ann (Wells) Mitchell, 69, of Bunnell, Florida, passed away June 18, 2022, after a short battle with cancer. She was born on November 18, 1952, in Plainville, Connecticut, to the late Charles and Nancy (Cox) Wells. Julie graduated from Plainville High School in 1970. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Augusta in 1987.
Julie’s life was full of obstacles and challenges. But she met them head-on and successfully battled every demon that came her way. Because of these challenges, Julie was the most positive person you would ever meet. Even as she neared the end of her life, she was in amazement that it wasn’t anything like what she expected.
She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. She was loved by everyone she interacted with and create lifelong friendships along the way. To list all of her close friends would be nearly impossible. Here are just a few of those special people who will miss her deeply: Rosemary McGall, Nancy Bouffard, Maryellen Sjostrom and many, many more. She will be missed by her friends at the Flagler County Senior Center.
Julie’s children, grandchildren and great granddaughter were the focal point of her life. She celebrated each of their successes and offered wisdom and kindness for each of their challenges. Her grit and determination to master her challenges provided the blueprint for her family to master their own challenges, including the greatest challenge of losing their Mom and Gram Gram.
Julie is predeceased by her parents, her brother Michael C Wells, her ex-husband Michael A Mitchell, Sr. two daughters, Robin and Nancy Mitchell, and by her best furry friend, Boomer.
Julie is survived by her siblings, Kathy Wells, Ricky Wells and his wife Tammy, and Leroy Wells and his wife Debbie. Her children Velma McConnell and her husband Kip, Mickayla Mitchell, Charles Mitchell and his wife Tara. Her grandchildren Michelle Mitchell, Aaron McConnell, Matthew McConnell and his wife Emily, Bre Farrington, Anthony Silva, Marcus Mitchell and his wife Hope, and Lakota Grover. And, her great granddaughter Penelope McConnell. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and her children and grandchildren’s friends who called her Mom or Gram Gram.
A private burial will be held on July 2, 2022 at West Cemetery in Bristol, CT. A Celebration of Life will follow at 1:30pm at the American Legion, Post 20 at 245 Main Street, Terryville, CT 06786.
