Gwennette E. Mitchell

Gwennette Elaine Mitchell, a radiant spirit of 70 years years young, peacefully departed this world on January 13th at her home in Milton, Delaware, surrounded by her devoted family – her beloved Mother Marlyn and Father Alfred, along with her two adoring children.

Gwennette's roots ran deep in Lewes, Delaware, a close-knit town where her childhood was filled with laughter and love. Born and raised amidst the warmth of family and friends, she navigated life with grace, fostering a sense of community that she treasured dearly.

She was proceeded in death by a loving sister-in-law Julia Mitchell and her Big Brother AJ Mitchell.

Gwennette leaves behind a legacy of love; her dear parents, Marlyn and Alfred; her little brother Justin and sister-in-law Hope; her children, Jennifer and Jason Esham; and daughter-in-law Sue McCrodden. The joy she found in her grandchildren, Haylah and Wesley, and her great-grandchild, Elena, illuminated her days and filled her heart with unparalleled happiness.

The bonds of family extended further into her life, encompassing many cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews, each holding a special place in her heart. Gwennette was an active member of the Pocahontas Running River Council 25 in Nassau, Delaware, where her vibrant spirit and dedication left a lasting impact.

As we reflect on Gwennette’s remarkable life, we acknowledge the immeasurable love and joy she brought to all who knew her. While her presence will be profoundly missed, her loving spirit will continue to resonate through the lives she touched.

The family has chosen to hold private services to honor her memory, embracing the moments that brought them together in love. May her light guide us and her memory remain eternal in our hearts.
