Lee Ann (Allred) Mitchell of Lehigh Acres, Florida passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, August 15, 2017. She was 56 years old.
Lee was born on September 18, 1960. She was adopted and truly loved by her parents, Clarence and Mary Griffith and they fondly spoke of their days in Pennsylvania, the Jersey Shore, and in Naples, Florida. Lee is a former Miss Edisonia, a graduate of the University of South Florida and she earned her Masters Degree in Education from Southeastern University.
Most importantly she accepted and grew in her relationship with Christ at First Assembly of God. She was active in the singles ministry and then married Mel Mitchell, currently principal of Fort Myers Christian School, in 1994. She was greatly loved as a teacher at FMCS from 1991-1997 and 2000-2017. Most recently she started teaching fourth grade at Unity Charter School. At FMCS she taught in elementary, middle school, drama classes for chapels, public speaking, and prepared drama teams for the many missions trips she took with the eighth grade classes. She also visited and ministered in nursing homes on Sunday's. Out of her love for Jesus came a love for her students, animals, and giving hope to the elderly. Most of all for Mel and Lee was their love for their family and the immense pride and joy that David, Breanna, and Robin brought to their life.
In a journal that she started writing to her son, back in 1998, she left him many great words of wisdom and advice for him to follow for the rest of his life. The last words written come from Jeremiah 29:13 and are not only for him but for all of us: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Lee is survived by her beloved family and friends.
