Of New Hope, MN, passed away peacefully at the age of 96 on May 19, 2016, and is now in heaven fully healed with her Lord Jesus.

Harline lived in Waltham, MA, most of her life and moved to Minnesota full-time in 1998.

Harline was born in Somerville, MA on November 28, 1919 to the late Arthur and Margaret McFarland.

On December 21, 1944, she married her sweetheart, the late George Mitchell.

Harline is the loving mother of the late George Mitchell, Jr., Sandra Mitchell Campbell of Pompano Beach, FL, and Margaret “Peg” Mitchell Rigoli Blum, of Brooklyn Park, MN. She is the beloved grandmother to Dawn, Karl, Carey, Gregg, Jill, Wendy, Lauren and Thomas, and many great grandchildren.

Harline was the last of her generation of the McFarland family clan and was a loving sister to the late Josephine Park, Alfred, John, Theodore, and Elmer, her half-brother.

Harline’s family was very important to her and she held them dearly close to her heart. Harline was an excellent handcrafter using crochet, knitting, and counted cross stitch as a relaxing pastime. Throughout the years, she made many beautiful gifts for her family and friends. Harline was a gentle person with a quiet spirit and she loved life. She really enjoyed a cup of tea! She loved reading, crossword puzzles, walking, and going for long drives in the car…in a moment’s notice!

As you remember Harline, think of her sweet smile, quick wit, and wonderful laughter, and cherish the fond memories shared with her.
