Mother of former Grenada PM celebrates her 102nd birthday

Birthday blessings have been pouring in for Muriel Mitchell, the mother of former Prime Minister of Grenada, Dr Keith Mitchell, who turned 102 years-old today.  

Mrs Mitchell was born on October 16, 1922.  

Dr Mitchell, who is the Opposition leader of Grenada, shared a beautiful birthday message to his mother, letting her know she has been his rock and has shaped him into the man he is today.  

He posted the following on social media: “Today, I celebrate the most incredible woman in my life my mother, Muriel Mitchell, on her 102nd birthday. 

Mom, you have been my rock, my constant source of strength, and the foundation upon which I’ve built not only my personal life but also my political journey.  

Through every victory, every challenge, you’ve been by my side, offering your wisdom, your unwavering support, and your endless love.  

Your presence has shaped me into the man I am today, and I am forever grateful for the values, determination, and resilience you instilled in me. 

In every moment, through the highs and the lows, you’ve been my guide, my motivation to push forward even when the road seemed impossible.  

Your strength has lifted me, your grace has inspired me, and your love has been the constant I’ve leaned on. 

Thank you, Mom, for being the foundation of everything I am and everything I strive to be. I love you deeply, and I cherish every moment with you. Happy 102nd Birthday.” 

Mrs Mitchell has six children, with Dr Mitchell being her second born.  

In an interview two years ago with Good News Catholic Communications, when she became a Centenarian Mrs Mitchell on her secrets to a long and productive life said she has done a lot of walking, visits the beach and stays away from stress.
