 Libia
R. Mitchell, 90, of Lancaster and Country Meadows Retirement
Community passed away on August 5, 2011 at Hospice of Essa Flory
after a 14 month illness. She was born in Manizales, Colombia,
South America on September 7, 1920 to the late Apolinar and Anna (Cogote)

Mitchell who preceded her in death in 1979.
Libia’s hobbies included gardening,
knitting, and sewing. She especially enjoyed the company of the
women in her Knitting and Purl group. Knitting and sewing for
various organizations, including St. Anthony’s bazaars, was also
one of her great joys.
Libia was a faithful member of St.
Anthony of Padua Catholic Church.
She is survived by a sister, Alicia
Flores of Manizales, Colombia, and nieces and nephews.

To the kindest, warmest, truest, giving woman
I have ever known. It's been a, sometime, rough 734 some odd
days, that I have had the pleasure of being able to spend at
least 619 of those days letting you know that I was at least one
of those, of many, who cared about, and was there for you. I
have learn much about life through knowing you Libby, and so
long as you are in some one's heart, as you are in mine, you
will never be forgotten. Your fight is over, and your life's
journey will now be rewarded. Rest in peace and harmony.
With much love, from a real Friend Libby,
Woody (and Janet)
God blessed our world with the wonderful soul
of Libby Mitchell. I was acquainted with her from my visits to
my parents in Lancaster Township. I saw firsthand her many
kindnesses toward her neighbors. When my Dad was ill, she would
visit my Mother and would always bring something for us. I
remember fondly seeing her on the bus to Walmart-she would
always engage in coversation with me and would remember me; this
despite the fact that I live in Massachusetts and could only
visit Lancaster on a limited basis! How blessed her family and
neighbors are to have been graced by her caring and her love.
Without fanfare, she truly understood that life is a gift, and
that love is the ultimate appreciation of this most precious
gift. God love you, Libby Mitchell, and thank you. You will be
missed and always remembered.
