District 65 mourns the loss of Mrs. Patricia Mitchell, former principal of Bessie
Rhodes Magnet School. Mrs. Mitchell passed away on May 24 th from cancer. Her
family will hold a private service with plans for a memorial on Saturday, June 2nd
at St. Mark s Church. During her almost 30 years of
service to District 65 families, Mrs. Mitchell touched the
lives of so many. She began her career in the District as
a kindergarten aide in 1980, went on to become a Walker
School teacher, a central office administrator, and school
principal first at Dewey Elementary (from 1991 to
1998), and then at Bessie Rhodes (formerly Timer
Ridge) Magnet School from 1998 until her retirement in
2009.
Mrs. Mitchell touched the lives of so many teachers, administrators,
students, and families in this district that many of us feel we were
part of her family. We offer our condolences to her family.
