Cecil Mitchell
May 6, 1940- September 3, 2022
Cecil Randolph Mitchell, 82, of Iva, SC, went home to b with the Lord Jesus Christ, on Saturday, September 3, 2022, at AnMed Health Medical Center.
Born in Iva, on May 6, 1940, he was a son of the late Claude Jesse Mitchell, and the late Sybil Aleta Burton Mitchell. Randolph lived in Belton, SC, for many years where he met his former wife, Bonnie Shirley Mitchell.

Randolph loved living in the country, and his dogs were a special part of his life. He was always working on projects, either on gardening equipment, cars, hobbies, or just something of special interest to him.

One brother, Donnie Steve Mitchell, three brothers-in-law, Callie Mason Norwood, George “Jobber” Harvey Trammell, and Robert Newton Shirley. One Nephew, Kenneth Dan Norwood, and one great nephew, Stephen Norwood.
