Henry Edward Mitchell

Henry Edward Mitchell passed away at home peacefully, after a
very short illness on Thursday, July 9, 2020, at the age of 86. He
was born in Hagansport, Texas. On January 24, 1934. Henry

Preceded in death by his youngest daughter Tracie E. Angelly and
son-in-law Karl Rabalais. He is survived by his wife of 61 years
Eula Marie Mitchell; Children; Beth Rabalais; Clifford Mitchell
and wife Susan: Michael Mitchell and wife Mary; thirteen
grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren; and two great great
grandchildren. He was the sixth of seven children. He is survived
by one older Brother Floyd Mitchell.
Henry made his home in Watauga Texas. The majority of his
career was spent working for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company,
retiring in 1994. Afterwards, He enjoyed making the rounds at
garage sales, then selling his treasures at “the store” near Poolville,
Texas. His enjoyment came from the deal, and arguing price, on
anything was his passion.
His love for the babies was known by all. When he entered the
room, you could be assured he was going to get his hands on one
of the Grandbabies. As we all figured out the bark was always
much worse than the bite. He had a big heart, just did not want
anyone to know it. We all loved and looked up to him and he will
be greatly missed.
