Anthony Decoursey Mitchell, age 77, transitioned at Chesapeake Regional Hospital from this earthly life into eternal rest on Friday, February 9, 2024. He was born in St. Michael, Barbados on November 22, 1946, to the late Mrs. Loleta Mitchell and Mr. Percival Austin Mitchell. Tony was known as “Boo-Boo” in Barbados.
Tony attended St. Mathias Boys School in Barbados, then immigrated to the United States in 1970. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1974.
A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” – Berean Standard Bible (BSB). Proverbs 11:25
Tony was that generous soul. He was a good man who when he walked into a room would always try to make you smile. He had the biggest heart. He made sure to always offer you food or a drink. He was attentive to everyone around him.
Tony was employed for years at the Hebrew Academy followed by Bayville Golf Club for the past 15 years. He was also an active member of the American Legion.
He leaves to cherish his memories to his wife, Geraldine Mitchell; two sons, Anthony and Troy; two stepsons, Timothy and Haki; two stepdaughters, Frances and Kim; four sisters, Carmen, Eleanor, Harriette, and Evette; nephews, Corey, Chad, Marcus, Barry; nieces; Sharon, Sabrena, Sean, Tracy, Mandy, Deborah; five grandchildren; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in his honor to the American Cancer Society.

February 19, 2024 at 12:15 pmTo the Mitchell family, I just want to say I am very deeply sad and for the loss of Tony he was my friend and he was my coworker here at Bayville golf club, not a day went by where somehow we struck up a conversation about anything and everything. Every time I saw him I always complemented him on how he was dressed. I will tell him he was dressed to impress and call him big money. I’m gonna miss him so much I’m gonna miss hearing him talk, or just carry on the conversation with him, or just throw my hand away to him he was a great man what a beautiful heart and soul and a breaks my heart to know he’s not with us anymore. I’m gonna miss you Tony I love you my old friend.
