Lilian Mitchell

December 18, 2019

After a long illness, Lilian Mitchell passed away on Dec 18, 2019 at the age of 82 years. She is survived by her husband, Jack; son Allan; grandsons Leo and Myles; and brother Alvar.

Lilian was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and came to Canada in her twenties. She completed her Master’s degree at U.B.C., and worked for several years as a Social Worker at Surrey Memorial Hospital, and then Evergreen Baptist Care Home. Lilian was admired for performing her duties in a “quiet, determined, proficient, and caring way”. She enjoyed tennis, painting, gardening, cooking, reading, and was an inquisitive listener, and will be profoundly missed by friends and family.

The Mitchell family is grateful for the care Lilian received from the wonderful staff at the Evergreen Baptist Care Home. Cremation has taken place, and by request, there will be no public service.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family.

Messages of Condolence

So sorry to read of Lillian's passing. We met many years ago in Pre natal classes. Our children , John and my daughter Antonja were born in the winter of 1971. We did see a little of one another in those first few years and then I lost track of her. However we did bump into one another after I moved to South Surrey. about 17 years ago. She was always very gracious and friendly. So sorry for your loss. Sincerely Kersti Livingstone
