Carolyn K. Mitchell

Carolyn Kinnier Mitchell, 96, of Morgantown, West Virginia, formerly of Carmichaels, passed away on Thursday, May 7, 2026. Born on January 16, 1930, in New Kensington, Pa., she was the daughter of the late Archibald Copeland and Jane Elizabeth (McCartney) Campbell.

Carolyn was a graduate of New Kensington High School, class of 1948. A year later, she married Donald G. Mitchell. Together they shared 68 wonderful years, until his passing on April 28, 2018. Carolyn dedicated much of her life to her church and community. She was a long-time member of the Greene Valley Presbyterian Church in Carmichaels, where she sang in the choir and in the former Daughters of Grace, and was a member of the Women in the Church (WIC). Carolyn was also a member of the Carmichaels Civic Club. Throughout her life, and right to the very end, she found joy and comfort in singing hymns, a testament to her unwavering faith.

Carolyn loved to travel with her family, often for weeks at a time. She especially enjoyed her trips out west with her grandchildren, venturing to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Glacier National Park. Carolyn was a very talented seamstress.

Left to cherish her memory are her son, Robert Mitchell (Susan) of Harrisburg, Pa.; daughter, Rebecca M. Jackson (Timothy) of Morgantown, W.Va.; grandchildren, Heather Mitchell, Alli Moyer, Ben Jackson (Melissa), Carolyn Brejwo (Jeff), Laurel Jackson, and Claire Beezhold (Kevin); great-grandchildren, Stella, Susannah, Petra, Eleanor, Charles, Adele, Wren, Nolan, Campbell, Elijah, and Hollis; and brother-in-law, Alan Mitchell of Kittanning, Pa.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Joyce Mitchell; sisters, Jane Cruickshanks, Patricia Nagle, and Marilyn Gollings, and great-grandson, Jackson Beezhold.

A memorial service for Carolyn will be held at a later date.
