Julie Bryant Mitchell

Julie Bryant Mitchell, 34, of Edmond, Okla. was granted her angel wings on November 2, 2010. Born February 18, 1976 in Yonkers, New York to Harvey and Peggy Bryant, she had one sister Stephanie who was her best friend throughout life. She attended Pope John Paul II High School in Boca Raton, Florida where she was an All American cheerleader, member of the track team and competed in the Junior Olympics. Julie then graduated from the University of Southern California in 1998 with a degree in Business where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and a Trojan football fan. In April 2005 she married Teddy Mitchell and they welcomed their beautiful daughter London Elissa into their lives in September 2009. In becoming a mother she fulfilled her life's ambition and the past year raising London was the most precious and blessed time of her life. A devoted and caring mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend, Julie enjoyed running, shopping, traveling and spending quality time with her large extended family. A recent proud moment was completing the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon in April 2010. Julie was high spirited and will be remembered not only for her outer beauty but more so for her caring soul, strong hugs, infectious smile and ability to make everyone around her feel loved and appreciated. She brought out the best of everyone she met and positively touched many lives. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her including her three dogs, Gucci, Armani and Mercedes. She is survived by her husband Teddy Mitchell and daughter London; step-sons Dryden, Daniel and Nick Mitchell; mother Peggy Bryant; father Harvey Bryant and step-mother Claudia Bartel Bryant; sister Stephanie Bruehl and husband Chris; step-brother Jon Bartel, wife Julie and niece Olivia; step-sister Joey Bartel and fiancé Brian Meyers; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
