    • Jed Scott Mitchell, 92, died January 18, 2016. He was born in St. George, Utah on February 14, 1923 to John Arthur and Vera Gates Mitchell. He married June Foremaster on August 6, 1949. They made their home in St. George and were the parents of two sons, Erle Scott and Howard Sidney Mitchell.

      Jed drove truck for many years for Milne Truck Line and later worked as a mechanic for Dixie Diesel. He enjoyed working in the cattle business with the Foremaster family and loved spending time with his family and extended family on Jeep trips, camping, and hunting.

      The family wishes to thank Zion?s way Hospice and the Beehive House for their care and compassion.
