<b>Evelyn Mitchell</b>

Evelyn Murdaugh Mitchell, widow of William Cecil Mitchell, died peacefully at her home on June 8, 2013, with loving family at her side.

She was born in Islandton, South Carolina on October 3, 1916.  Mrs. Mitchell, the eldest daughter of Hallie and Annie Murdaugh, was raised in Colleton County where she graduated high school and then went on to business school in Columbia, South Carolina. She returned to Colleton County and while out for a Sunday ride with her father, came to Beaufort where she met the love of her life, Cecil, whom she married in April 1942.  They had two children.

Mrs. Mitchell is survived by her children, William Cecil “Red” Mitchell, Jr. and his wife Marjorie, and David Carl “Mac” Mitchell and his wife Nancy Sadler.  She is also survived by her grandchildren, Meredith Evelyn Mitchell, and her husband Kelley Adams; William Cecil Mitchell III and his wife Maggie; Patrick Gates Mitchell and his wife Abby; Julia Mitchell Renken and her husband Robby; Evelyn Murdaugh Mitchell and her husband Craig Link; and David Carl Mitchell,Jr.  The lights of her life were her great-grandchildren Margaret Evelyn Adams, Amelia Catherine Mitchell, Eleanor Hollis Mitchell, and Parker Gates Mitchell. Her brother, Howard Murdaugh and his wife Cora and his sister-in-law Barbara Murdaugh also survive their sister.  She was predeceased by her sister Vernelle Mills, and her brothers Joseph, Eugene, Clinton, and Jackie.  She has nieces and nephews (and grandnieces and grandnephews) too numerous  to count, that held such special places in her heart.

Mrs. Mitchell was a remarkable woman in many ways. She raised her sons with a love that knew no bounds, encouraging them through every day.  She opened House and Garden Gift shop in 1968 and ran it with her daughter-in-law Marjorie, until she retired at age 89. She was a hard working member of the Beaufort Garden Club for over 50 years; she loved both the work of the club and its members.  She was a faithful member of St. Helena’s, always contributing through the years to the work of the bazaar and assisting with the Tour of Homes.  She was a founding member of Cross Swamp Methodist Church Cemetery Association.

Mrs. Mitchell provided a welcoming home for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, hosting Sunday dinners for all through the years.  No matter what she had going on, when family and friends came to her doorstep, she stopped to visit with them.  She was greatly loved and will be missed by so many.

The family thanks Pautina Brown, Atavia Brown, Salethia Watson, Mary Magee, Dr. Lucius Laffitte and Friends of Caroline Hospice for their wonderful care of Granny.

Visitation was at her home, 206 Springfield Road, Lady’s Island, Tuesday, June 11 from 5-7 p.m.
