Mrs. Peggy Mitchell was a former teacher of my late Father Dr. James Arthur Williams at CA Johnson High School as well as a fellow co-worker at CA Johnson High School. Mrs. Mitchell was a dear friend of my late Father and they spoke frequently on the phone. Whenever she came to Springfield, Ohio to visit her Sister we always looked forward to seeing her in Ohio. The Williams Family extends our condolences and prayers to Ernie and the Mitchell Family at this time.
Mrs Mitchell was my Spanish teacher at Dreher High School. She was not only a teacher but mentor to so many of us who needed it. When her husband passed our 2nd period class took Mrs. Mitchell and her son Ernie to dinner at a restaurant at the Columbia Mall. We had a great time. I drove her there in my father’s Oldsmobile 98. She was scared all the way there and back home. I had just gotten my license. I love you Mrs Mitchell you were larger than life!
Aunt Peggy’s tender spirit turned ordinary moments into sacred memories. Her love for her sisters was a quiet anchor—a lifelong bond woven with devotion, laughter, and grace. Together, they built a legacy of family that will endure beyond her parting. Ernie, may you continue to feel your mom’s love in every shared memory, and may her beautiful soul rest softly in light. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort knowing she now rests in God’s eternal peace, reunited with loved ones gone before.
Much love and prayers to the Mitchell/Swanson families.Mrs Mitchell was one of our most love teachers at CAJ.We could always depend on her,Ms Craft,Mrs Sandiford when we had a problem.They were real educators among others.God Bless!!!
To the family of one of the most kind and powerful educators of my high school years, my deepest condolences. Only days ago did I think of her and wondered if she was still with us. After 40 years, I learned that she was not. I offer my prayers for the repose of her soul and the consolation of her family.
“Requiem aeterna dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in Pace. Amen”

My prayers are with the Mitchell family. I lived in Riverview Terrace, and she was a great neighbor and friend. Every time I saw Mrs. Mitchell she was always had a smile on her face. Rest in peace.
Mrs. Mitchell truly showed the humbleness that God wants us to have. She taught me so much. I will miss the talks we shared. Keeping you Ernie and your family lifted up in prayer. May God hold you tightly with his loving arms during this time of sadness.
It was a privilege to know and teach with Peggy at Dreher for many years. I loved Peggy and I know that she loved me and Sharon. We shared many memories together. She went to France with me on a trip with teachers after she retired.
Earnie, you did a great job of taking care of your Mom.
Mrs. Mitchell was my 9th grade Spanish teacher! I’ll never forget her poise and grace. She made such a difference in my life. What a great role model! The world is a better place because God allowed Mrs. Mitchell to grace our presence. Much comfort to the family.
I’m going to miss your sweet and comforting voice Aunt Peggy. The last of 8 sisters. All of you are together now. Rest my Beautiful Angel. I wish that I could be there. I love you cousin Ernie.
