Marie was born on April 26, 1929 in a small East Texas community called Wallace which is close to Canton, Texas. Her parents were Pete & Savanna Robertson. She had an older brother Haskell, an older sister Gladys and 2 younger brothers Billy and Roy Lee.
Marie grew up in East Texas in the 1930’s, a time when our country was going through depression and struggle. She had 2 loving parents and 4 siblings that loved and adored her. As a child, she was especially close to her Dad. He would allow her to hang out with him while he worked. She told me he pampered her and made her feel very special. He died when she was only 24. This was extremely hard for her, but luckily she was married and had 2 children to help ease the loss.
Marie met Claude Kell in 1947 and was married in October 1948. She had 2 children, Don and Barbara Kell. Marie and Claude were married for 14 years.
Marie met Johnny Mitchell in the early 1970’s and they were married on November 15, 1974. Johnny had 3 children by a previous marriage, Doug, Edward and Brenda Mitchell. She was married to Johnny for 40 years and 5 months when he passed at the age of 94. Marie and Johnny started a family business, Mitchell Construction. They enjoyed taking trips each summer throughout the United States. She loved going to Las Vegas and spending time at the beach. She was a great cook and prepared many holiday meals for her family.
Marie was preceded in death by her husband Johnny Mitchell, her son Don Kell, her parents Pete & Savanna Robertson, her sister Gladys Robertson and her 3 brothers Haskell, Billy and Roy Lee Robertson.
