MITCHELL, JOSEPH
April 19, 1929 - July 7, 2022

Joe passed away peacefully in the afternoon of July 7, 2022 with his wife Agnes at his side.

Unfortunately Joe was predeceased by his eldest son, Brent, in June 2021. He is survived by his wife of 67 years Agnes, daughter Donna, (Robert) Yanke, grandson Derek; grandsons Brendan and Michael Mitchell; daughter Shelley Mitchell, (Richard Muller), grandson Tyler Mitchell (Chelsea) great grandchildren Berkeley and Vaughn; son Scott, (Christa) grandson Luke; granddaughter Hayley Gentry (Clayton) and great granddaughter Grace; and granddaughter Erika Mitchell.

Joe was born in Winnipeg, raised in Portage la Prairie and worked for Manitoba Telephone System for 38 years.

It was in Winnipeg that he met the love of his life Agnes. Together they moved to Erickson and settled in Neepawa where they raised their children spending many happy summers at Clear Lake in their cabin in the old campground.

Joe will be remembered for the twinkle in his eye, his dry wit, nicknames he had for friends and willingness to help anyone or fix anything when asked. His garage was chock full of tools and anything he thought he might need in the future including his personal hardware store of boxes upon boxes of screws, nails, nuts, bolts, etc. at the ready to tackle any project.

The family would like to thank Doctors Wiebe, Cram and Tariq and special thanks to all the staff at Country Meadows for their excellent care of Joe particularly Marsha and her team.
Condolences and tributes may be directed to White's Funeral home in Neepawa. Instead of flowers friends may want to contribute to Beautiful Plains Community Foundation in Neepawa.
