Margaret "DeDe" Mitchell

Margaret “DeDe” Mitchell made it home to our Heavenly Father Sunday, August 21st, 2022, in Lubbock, TX.  DeDe was born June 6th, 1948, in El Paso, TX to the late Dennis George Burnette Jr. and Margaret Mayfield Biship.

DeDe married the love of her life, Roger James Mitchell immediately after graduating from Lubbock High School on June 23rd, 1966.  Although DeDe worked at various jobs throughout her life at a drug store warehouse, real estate, and in special education at Lubbock State School, she always put her full-time job of raising a family first. DeDe enjoyed various crafts, studying the Bible, family gatherings, watching the Hallmark channel, going on road trips with her brother, and serving others in need with anything from a haircut, a ride to a Dr.’s appointment, or just a kind word.

DeDe was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, Roger J. Mitchell; parents, Dennis Jr. and Margaret Burnette; brother, Dennis Burnette III; and sister, Mary Williams.

She is survived and will dearly be missed by her son Cary D. Mitchell and wife Rebekah; son Monte A. Mitchell and wife Lisa; brother John Burnette; 5 grandchildren, granddaughter Ashleigh Jackman, granddaughter Amanda Phillips and wife Savannah, grandson Nathaniel Mitchell and wife Brynn, grandson Aric Mitchell, grandson Aaron Mitchell; 3 great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date and time on “The Mitchell Connection” and at Shadow Hills Retirement Community.
