May 1, 1940 - Nov. 4, 2020

Larry Mitchell, 80, of Cloverdale, formerly of Plainfield, passed away suddenly on Nov. 4, 2020 at his home and into the loving arms of Jesus.

He was born on May 1, 1940 in Pleasantville to the late Roy and Chloa Mitchell.

Larry was a lineman for Indianapolis Power & Light for over 39 years, retiring in May of 2000.

He belonged to the Eminence Baptist Church and the IBEW #1395.

Larry enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, canning, baking and beekeeping in his free time. He was an avid Indiana University fan. What Larry loved most was spending time with his loving family whenever he could. His wife, his children, grandchildren and his great-grandchildren were the pride and joy of his life. He was proud of the life he and Mary built. Larry was never shy about letting any and everyone know how proud he was of his family. Larry knew how good God had been to him.

He was preceded in death by his siblings Bobby, Virgil, Bill, Everett and Judy Mitchell, Anna Marie Earle and Doris Suttles.

Survivors include his loving wife Mary Mitchell; his children, daughter Jennie (Jeff) Coats of Carlisle and sons Lonnie Mitchell of Cloverdale and Randall (Tracy) Mitchell of North Salem; siblings Dorothy Bruce of Terre Haute, John (Sandra) of Danville, Roy Jr. “Booner” (Jeanie) Mitchell of Linton and Carol Butler of Linton; grandchildren Melissa (Curtis) Ridgway of Carlisle, Michael (Rachel) Coats of Greenwood, Ben (Hannah) Mitchell of Rockville, Megan Marie (Ryan) Drew of Carmel, Megan Lynn (Kyle) Flatley of Westfield, Ethan (Trenna) Mitchell of New Paris, Morgan (AJ) Hopkins of Danville and his Army soldier Tyler Mitchell, serving in Kuwait at this time; 13 great-grandchildren with two on the way; and too-many-to-count special brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends.
