Glen Irvin Mitchell

Glen Irvin Mitchell, aged 77 years of Moose Jaw, SK and formerly Mitchellton, SK, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 24th, 2019.  Glen was born November 1st, 1941 in Moose Jaw, SK to Bill and June Mitchell and raised in the Mitchellton farming community.  He was predeceased by his parents, and sister-in-law, Shirley Knelsen.  Glen will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Beth; children and grandchildren: Kent (Leanne) – Tess and Adam Mitchell, and Marnie (Darren) – Reid Kovach; brother, Garner (Shiela) Mitchell; and brothers-in-law, Leonard Knelsen and Dale (Ruth) Knelsen.  Glen loved farming and started out on his own farm with Beth in 1970. He grew and evolved the farm for 34 years before retiring to Moose Jaw in 2004.  Along with his passion for farming, Glen was heavily involved with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Mossbank School Board and many other community activities.  Glen was well known for his ingenuity, exceptional carpentry and welding skills. He not only enjoyed building things for the farm and his family, but also being there for anyone who needed a helping hand.  Thank you to Dr. Geyer and all the staff at Guardian Grove at Providence Place. As per Glen’s wishes no Funeral Service will be held and interment will take place at the Mitchellton Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Glen’s name may be made to Providence Place Foundation Inc for Guardian Grove, 100 – 2nd Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1B8 or the Alzheimer Association of Saskatchewan, 301 – 2550 – 12th Ave, Regina, SK S4P 3X1.  Condolences for the Mitchell Family may be sent on the Moose Jaw Funeral Home Website.
