Johanna B. Mitchell, 86, formerly of Sinking Spring, PA crossed over into eternal life on August 29, 2019. She was the loving wife of the late Lawrence G. Mitchell for 61 years. Born in Hazleton, she was a daughter of the late John and Mary (Cherwick) Makowiec.
She was a graduate of McAdoo High School.
Mom never missed a ball game, recital or ceremony of any kind. She was a devout Catholic and
wonderful role model, instilling in us love, kindness, integrity and faith. She loved music, was an accomplished piano player, and sang in the church choir and Sweet Adelines. A wonderful seamstress, she enjoyed sewing and cooked a meal every day. Her family was her pride and joy and she never failed to remind us, "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck."
Johanna is survived by three sons: Lawrence and wife Lorie of Nazareth; David of West Lawn; and Scott and wife Fran of Roswell, GA; and two daughters, Mary Adams and husband Chip of Sinking Spring, and Paula Fischer of Sinking Spring. There are two surviving sisters, Matilda and husband John Motway of Beaver Meadows, and Lorraine and husband Richard Ramil, in California. She was beloved "Nana" to ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren and had many adoring nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by six siblings: Martin Makowiec, Albina "Birdie" Stalma, Mary Jane Holly, Julianne Butala, Hedwig "Hedy Laura" Artim, and Sonya Rose Makowiec.
