Illene Delilah Stoddart Mixon, age 94, passed peacefully from this life the evening of June 17, 2023, in Stuart, FL after a gradual decline in health from heart disease. She was surrounded and supported by her loving family and caregivers during the last days of her life. Illene was born in New Kensington, PA on February 28, 1929. Illene was a dedicated and loving wife of Tracy Roland Mixon to whom she had been married for 63 years. Illene was the daughter of the late Walter Morrison Stoddart and Helen Kaczmarek (Rosemark) Stoddart. Tracy spent a 28-year career in the US Navy, and Illene followed him to many cities in the US and a two-year assignment in Taiwan. Retirement began in September 1975, which launched a desire to travel by RV to many places in the US for over thirty years.
Illene is survived by two sons, David R. Mixon and his wife Mary H. Mixon of Hobe Sound, FL, and Ted R. Mixon and his companion Jill Weitendorf of Hobe Sound, FL, and a daughter, Pamela H. Smith and her husband Charles M. (Monty) Smith of Jupiter, FL. She is also survived by her sister Shirley A. Wilson of New Kensington, PA. Illene is also survived by 8 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
