Robert Earl "Mitch" Mitchell, age 90, of Morrilton, passed away peacefully on July 15, 2013 at Conway Regional Hospital. He was pre-deceased by wife, Mosadean Thompson Mitchell and siblings, Lloyd Mitchell and Christine Wright. Mitch was a life-long resident of Morrilton, having graduated from Morrilton High School. He was justly proud of his service in the United States Navy having served in the South Pacific for three years during World War II. Following his military service he graduated from the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science beginning his career as a funeral director and embalmer. He spent most of his professional life with Harris Funeral Home in Morrilton and served as Conway County Coroner for many years. He was an active member of the Morrilton Kiwanis Club, the local VFW, as well as the Morrilton First United Methodist Church. Mitch is survived by one daughter: Robbie Glazer, of Carbondale, Ill.; one son: John Hale and his wife Sue, of Hot Springs; his brother: Raymond Mitchell, of Morrilton; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; his nieces; nephews; and many friends. Mitch possessed a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed telling stories and jokes that endeared him to all.
