Doll was born on May 9, 1933 in Shongaloo, LA, the daughter of William E. Munn and Bertha Lindsey Munn. She graduated from Haughton High School as the Salutatorian in 1950. She was voted “Most Beautiful” by her Senior class.
On August 16, 1951, Doll married the love of her life, Oliver Bryan Mitchell. For 72 years, she stood faithfully by her husband’s side as his greatest support. Together, they established Zion Hill Farm in Haughton, LA.
Doll was a well-loved and respected member of First Baptist Church of Haughton. She served in the Women’s Ministry, sang in the Worship Choir, and helped lead the “Cornerstone Life Group”. She also worked as a realtor with her long-time friend, Lucille, at Lucille Cash Real Estate.
A real charmer, to know Doll was to love her. She dazzled many with her good humor and effortless wit. Her gentleness and kind words extended to all, and the patience that she possessed remains unmatched. She was a gifted homemaker and an outstanding cook. She enjoyed reading, sewing, and traveling the world with her sweetheart.
Lovingly called “Mamaw”, she was always the heartbeat of the Mitchell Family. Her greatest joy in life was caring for her loved ones. She made a point to know everyone’s favorite meal, and she cherished having family gathered around her kitchen table. To be loved and adored by Mamaw was such a precious gift. One that will be treasured forever.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Bryan Mitchell, her brother W.D. Munn, her daughters-in-law Becki Stewart Mitchell and Diann Taylor Mitchell, and her grandson Aaron Stroud Mitchell.
