Agnes Mary Mitchell, 83, of Niles, passed away at Lakeland Hospital, surrounded by her family, on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2014.

Agnes is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Richard and sister, Kay Lubansky.

She is survived by her two sons, Bruce (Melba) Mitchell of Niles and David (Dawn) Mitchell of Cassopolis; six grandchildren, Amy (Doug) Luczkowski of Niles, Chad (Tammy) Mitchell of Niles, Christopher (Oday) Mitchell of Cassopolis, Amanda Mitchell of Edwardsburg, Mindy Prince of Niles and Matt (Amy) McGlophlen of South Bend, Indiana; several great grandchildren and brother-in-law Stanley Mitchell of Niles.
