Evelyn Mitchell passed away on February 24, 2017 at the age of 89. She was born on August 28, 1927 in Greece and was a resident of Redondo Beach, California.

She was preceded in death by her sisters, Madeline Nicolau and Olga Constantino.
Evelyn was at the center of family gatherings in the home she shared with her husband, Alex, for 62 years. Evelyn was happiest when her family was gathered around her dinner table. She took special pride in the Greek desserts she baked for her children and their families to enjoy. Among her specialties were her Greek bread, twist cookies and, especially, her Baklava. Evelyn's cooking and baking were her expressions of love for her family.
Farewell, "Evie," we will miss you.
