Rebekah Mae Mitchell, 23, of Park City, passed away on Friday, October 7th, 2022, in Tampa, Florida of medical complications. She was born April 2, 1999, in Independence, to Frank, Jr and Dana (Bryant) Mitchell. A beloved mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, girlfriend, cousin and friend. Rebekah was a beautiful person inside and out, softspoken and gentle, she loved all in her life with a fire that could not be kindled. She enjoyed art, sewing, computers, music, fuzzy socks and most of all her daughter.
Rebekah was home schooled and active in the local home school group in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. One year, in grade school, she did UpWards Basketball with her sister Elizabeth. Every year she was in a bowling league with her other homeschool friends, a weekly Physical Education class where they did all kinds of sports/fitness activities together and was involved in other activities throughout each year. In high school she joined Bartlesville Southern Baptist church and was active with their youth group.
She took the Marketing class at Tri County Tech in Bartlesville, Oklahoma her junior year. She loved it. She loved dressing up professionally. She had perfect attendance there too and made the honor roll. That class was part of D.E.C.A and at their yearly competition her and her partner won 3rd place. She could have gone to Nationals but was starting to get very sick. That summer she was diagnosed with G.P.A. (aka – Wegener’s Granulomatosis) She was too sick to do the second year of the program. Rebekah graduated May 2017.
Her first job was as a housekeeper at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita, KS. She only called in sick once or twice. She would come home so tired that all she could do was go to bed, yet she was determined to keep going.
She later worked as a housekeeper at Regent Park Assisted Living where her sister Kati worked. She loved getting to talk with the residents there. Then she got a job with Visiting Angles where she would go to a person’s house to help them with daily living, keep them company and take them grocery shopping. Rebekah really enjoyed helping people out and getting to know them.
Last year she started the Aviation Maintenance Technology Degree at WSU Tech. She completed one semester then decided to take a break and go stay in Apollo Beach, Florida.
Rebekah was preceded in death by her beloved brother Zachary Mitchell.
