LORETTA ELIZABETH MITCHELL (NEE CONWAY)
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother Loretta Mitchell of West Kelowna on Dec. 23rd, 2014 at the age of 78. She was born on Dec. 24, 1935 to the late Stephen and Lucie Conway in Rouyn-Noranda, Que. Loretta grew up in Noranda where she married Val Mitchell Sr. and raised her family there. They moved to Kamloops in 1977, spent time in Tumbler Ridge, and finally settled in West Kelowna in 1988. Mom had a deep and abiding faith and a love of music. Her wealth of knowledge in healthy
living was a resource for all of us, and she cherished her time spent with family.
