Pamela Lynne Mitchell

She battled courageously with multiple health issues over many years until she could fight no longer. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend, Gary of 55 years marriage, daughter Darlene (Barry) and son Donald (Michelle), grandchildren Erin and Kaitlyn Darby and William and Adele Mitchell. She will also be greatly missed by her sisters Beverley Unsworth, Rhonda Locke and sister-in-law Dawna Gowing and their families as well as many friends.

Lynne was born in Vancouver and attended Kerrisdale and Kitsilano High School. In 1964 she was married in St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Vancouver and moved to Victoria to begin her married life.. The family moved with BC Hydro to Prince George and Terrace before finally transferring back to Victoria in 1988. Lynne enjoyed her work as a Medical Office Assistant in these communities and her interaction with the patients.

Lynne was an active member of the local quilting, square dance, and BC Hydro Power Pioneer communities. She was also known for her love of gardening and family.

The family wish to thank and recognize the care she received on many occasions over the years from the nursing staff and the rest of the medical teams of R.J.H. and V.G.H., Doctors Ganz and Pretrunia and especially her family Doctor, Gary Nielsen.
