Carole Ann (Ricker) Mitchell entered this life on April 12, 1944 in Portland, Maine, to parents Rodney R. and Annie H. Ricker. Carole entered her Forever Home on Jan. 6, 2021 at her home in Utica, Okla., at the age of 76. 
Carole married Troy David Mitchell Sr. on Jan. 18, 1964, traveled the country with her husband and three children while he was in the U.S. Navy, resided in Richland Hills, Texas for many years, and they then moved to Utica in March 2002
Carole was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and was affectionately known as Mimi to her grandchildren. Just a Yankee that made her way down south, she loved to knit and crochet in her spare time. What she truly loved more than anything was cooking and spending time with her family, watching soap operas, and ALWAYS being on top of the celebrity gossip. She will be forever missed here on this earth. 
Carole was preceded in death by her parents, son-in-law W. Todd Danford, and great grandson Darren Bacon.
Carole is survived by her husband, Troy David Mitchell Sr., of the home; sons: Troy Mitchell Jr. and wife Holly, and Michael Mitchell and companion Cindy Thompson; daughter, Kathleen Danford; grandchildren: Rusty Albright, CJ Albright and wife Ashley, Matt Danford, Kali Danford, Cory Mitchell and wife Justine, Kelsey Danford, Kerianne Mitchell, Collin Mitchell; great grandchildren: Skylar Albright, Karleigh Bacon, Liam Albright, Riley Albright, Nick Albright, Ella Albright, Luke Mitchell, Keira Bacon, Alexis Wright and Elizabeth Wright, and soon to make her appearance, Tinsley Mitchell.
