Mary was born January 13, 1930 in Raub, ND to Frank and Clara (Green) Doran. She was raised and educated in the country setting of Raub, ND until moving to Minot. She graduated from Minot High School in 1948. As a young adult, Mary lived in Minot and the Ryder area, where she was employed at the local grocery store and at Voeller's as a business manager and then a credit manager. She took a position with JC Penny's in Minot.

Mary was united in marriage to Lloyd Mitchell on January 14, 1962 in Minot. They made their home in Minot, where they assisted Lloyd's parents with the operation of the Hardware Hank Store in Minot. They assumed operation of the business from his parents and built a new store on Highway 52 East. She worked as the bookkeeper of the store and their trucking business. After the sale of the store in the early 1970's, she finished her career as the office manager for G.T.A. Feeds, retiring in 1992.

They enjoyed wintering in Mesa, AZ and summer months at Strawberry Lake during their retirement years. Lloyd died December 14, 2014. Mary was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Eagles Club and the Moose Lodge, all of Minot. Mary enjoyed working in her vegetable and flower gardens along with time spent traveling. Her talented hands quilted and crocheted many hours, and her baking skills were second to none. Mary was a woman of wit, books and opinions who loved life.   The family would like to especially thank the staff at Edgewood Vista for their wonderful care of mom, to Pastors Natasha & John at Zion Lutheran Church and the staff of Thomas Family Funeral Home for their comforting words at this difficult time.  She will be missed deeply by all who were blessed to share in her life.
