Rachel F. Mittower, 93, of Chardon, OH, peacefully passed away on Monday, April 8, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family.

Rachel was born on November 24, 1930, to Floyd and Margaret (Cameron) McLaughlin in Wauseon, Ohio.  She graduated from Wauseon High School and later moved to Chardon where she met and married Franklin A Mittower, Jr. on June 15, 1962, in Thompson Twp. OH.  They enjoyed a fulfilling life together while raising their three children, Keith, Cheryl, and Barbara in Chardon, OH.

Rachel worked for Addressograph Multigraph in Euclid and Snap Out Forms in Chardon for many years.  She later worked at Richard’s Bakery and ended her career in the Billing Department at Geauga Regional Hospital. 

Rachel enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, such as word search puzzles and game shows.  She was a great cook and baker.  She treasured time spent with friends, often playing cards.  After her husband passed away, Rachel cherished her weekly outings with friends for shopping and lunch. She greatly missed those outings as mobility became more challenging.

She is survived by her daughters, Cheryl (Mike) Noble of Hambden Twp., OH and Barbara (Arnold Mallory) Fritsch of Liberty Center, OH; daughter in law, Lisa Mittower of Hartsgrove, OH; grandchildren, Kristen (Chad) Bass, Jennifer Mittower, Kate (Chris) Homlish, Erin (Tony) Niksick, Ryan (Jessica) Noble and 16 Great Grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Frank A. Mittower Jr.; son, Keith Mittower; granddaughter, Allison Mittower, and her 3 sisters and 2 brothers.

The family suggests contributions to the Alzheimer’s Association, 23215 Commerce Park, #300, Beachwood, OH  44122 or www.alz.org for the ongoing fight against this disease.

Private family services will be held.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Chardon, Ohio. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.burrservice.com.
