Marian Mitchell

March 11, 1930 — June 10, 2025

Florence "Marian" Mitchell, 95, of Tunkhannock passed away gently on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at the Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center after a short stay. She was preceded in death by her husband, Garner P. Mitchell in 1981.

Born on March 11, 1930 in Scranton, she is the daughter of the late Herbert Winfield and Florence (Hofford) Sunday.

She was a graduate of Keystone Junior College in 1950. Her professional journey included several years as a secretary for Atty. John R. Morgan in Tunkhannock before her retirement.

Growing up in Scranton, Marian fondly recalled her childhood spent with her very kind big brother and loving parents. She was a member of the Elm Park United Methodist Church in Scranton during her younger years.

She was a quiet soul who found joy in reading great books, watching good movies, and indulging in her love for music by playing the piano. She was especially known for her playful spirit during scrabble games, often delighting her opponents with clever and challenging remarks.

Later in her life, Marian became a member of the Tunkhannock United Methodist Church. Her love for song was evident as she sang in the choir and even played the keyboard at local Senior Care Centers.

She is survived by her 3 children, Susan (John) Russell, James (Laurie) Mitchell, Carol Taylor; nephew, George (Brian) W. Sunday; several; grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to her husband, she is preceded in death by brother, George H. Sunday.
