Marshalleen was born on July 25, 1932, to Juanita (Marshall) Shafer and Leslie
William Shafer of Pilot Point, Texas. She married James Weldon Mitchell, the
love of her life, at the Farmers Branch Church of Christ on August 27, 1951.
They were married for 52 years.
Her first passion in life was being a Christian and walking closely with her
Lord. Her second passion was teaching and learning, which she passed down to her
children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Marshalleen began her career
in education as a school secretary for the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. She
went back to North Texas State University to complete her Bachelor’s in
Education, while raising her family. Weldon and Marshalleen worked together in
all things. Completing her education was no exception. Weldon encouraged her
abundantly so she could fulfill this dream. Upon completing her degree, she
taught at Central Elementary for 30 years. She later attended North Texas State
University and obtained her Master’s in Education. Four of her five
grandchildren attended her graduation ceremony. She leaves a legacy of lives
touched by her dedication to teaching and learning.
Marshalleen was preceded in death by her husband Weldon Mitchell, parents,
brother Bill Shafer, brother Jim Shafer, her infant daughter Melissa April and
Melvin Long.
Marshalleen is survived by her son, James Mitchell (Ann), her daughter, Melanie
Hayes (Keith), and daughter, Annissa Mitchell (Mark Thompson). She is also
survived by her sister, Elizabeth Richardson. She is survived by grandchildren
Melissa Cox (Matt), Bradley Mitchell, Heather Mitchell, Laurel Warren (Rob), and
Ashton Orr (Alex). She is survived by great-grandchildren Kenah Cox, Koy Cox,
Aiden Warren, Adyson Warren, Hudson Warren, Holden Warren, Jude Mitchell, Maddox
Orr, Sutton Orr, and Beckett Orr. She is also survived by many beloved nieces
and nephews, who loved her very much.
