Betty (Stuart) Mitchell

Betty Stuart Mitchell, age 97, a lifelong resident of Bay Minette, Alabama, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on August 23, 2025.

Betty was the epitome of a true Southern lady. She was always beautiful, cheerful and had a kind word for everyone. She lived a very full life. Married at 17 she had two children by the age of 20 and spent the rest of her life as a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and partner to her husband, Bill Mitchell. Among other activities she loved to play golf and won the Ladies Championship at Holly Hills Country Club. She greatly enjoyed going to the beach and spent nearly every summer at Gulf Shores or Orange Beach with her family.
