APPLETON — After a short battle with cancer, Glenn F. Mitchell passed away on February 5, 2025, at the age of 70. He was born on August 11, 1954 and raised in Appleton, Maine, and was a 1973 graduate of Camden-Rockport High School.

Glenn was a proud ironworker for over 30 years, working alongside his father and brothers in the industry. He was a dedicated member of Union Iron Workers Local 496 and Local 7, where he built not just structures but lifelong friendships. His love for the outdoors was unmatched—he could tell hunting and fishing stories for hours, and he spent many days on the St. George River at his secret fishing holes.

He also had a deep love for animals, always making sure stray cats had food and water. Over the years, he had several beloved pets, including his cat George, his dog Rocky, and his pet squirrel Oscar, all of whom he loved and spoiled. Glenn spent his mornings riding the back roads of Appleton with his brother Clair, and Clair’s dog, Jasper, enjoying the quiet of the countryside.

Glenn was predeceased by his father, Fernald Mitchell of Appleton; his mother, Mabel Mitchell of Appleton; his sister, Donna Mitchell of Concord, NH; his brother Jeffrey Mitchell of Appleton; his sister-in-law Mary Jane Mitchell of South Hope; and his nephew Clair W. Mitchell of Appleton.

He is survived by his brother Elliot G. Mitchell of South Hope; his brother Clair S. Mitchell and his wife Terry of Appleton; his nephews Elliot H. Mitchell and his partner Leah of South Thomaston, and Adam Mitchell and his wife Kali of South Hope; his nieces, Heidi Taylor of Appleton and Megan Field of Winterport; several great-nieces and nephews; and a good friend, Chris Rogers.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and caregivers at Waldo County General Hospital for the exceptional care Glenn received during his final days.

A private graveside service for immediate family and closest friends will be held in the spring. Glenn will be remembered for his hard work, his love for the outdoors, and the simple moments he cherished most.
