Edgemoor, SC – Dorothy Simpson Mitchell, 93, of Edgemoor, died Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at her residence.

Funeral service will be at 2:00 pm Monday, March 28, 2022 at Harmony Baptist Church, 5403 Harmony Church Road/State Road 51, Edgemoor, SC 29712 with Reverend Patrick Roddey officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery following the service. Visitation with family and friends will be prior to the service at the church from 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm.

Born on April 24, 1928, in Chester County, she was a daughter of the late Edward Lyle and the late Jessie Phillips Simpson. She was married to the love of her life, Joseph Clyde "J.C." Mitchell for seventy years until his passing in 2017. She was also preceded in death by her siblings, Ruth Simpson, Roy Simpson, Betty Avery, Mary Lyle Murphy and Ann Bass. She was a lifelong member of Harmony Baptist Church where she was member of the Young at Heart, the Fidelis Sunday Class and the WMU. She instilled her devout Christian faith to many young children through the years as a Sunday School and Vacation Bible School Teacher. Throughout her entire life she allowed her Christian faith to be a model to all both young and old. She cared for and nurtured many children over the years in her home and in later years became affectionately known as Maw Maw Dot to all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as many other children in the community. Dot had a great love for homemaking and loved to cook. Until the very end of her life she was still cooking and entertaining her family. She always warmly opened her home to all and loved sharing what she had with others. One of her food specialties was her homemade biscuits that could be ranked among some of the best in the country.

Dot is survived by her sons, Wayne (Ann) Mitchell and Warren (Doris) Mitchell both of Edgemoor; her daughter, Sue (Chip) Sanders of West Union, SC; a sister, Carol Reid; a brother, Donnie Simpson; seven grandchildren, Erica Mitchell, Chad Mitchell, Casey Mitchell, Mitchell Sanders, Nathan Mitchell, Cory Mitchell and Joey Sanders; twelve great-grandchildren.
