July 1, 1934 - Nov 15, 2018
*Obituary
Jurl Norris Mitchell, 84, of Conway, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, November 15, 2018. He was born July 1, 1934 in Elsinore, MO to the late R.P. Mitchell and Joanna Mitchell. Jurl is also preceded in death by his brother, Ronald V. Mitchell and an infant brother.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 67 years, Mary Ann Mitchell of Greenbrier, a son, Dwight (Cherri) Mitchell of Greenbrier, sisters, Arlyn (Gene) Gambill of Greenbrier, Karen (Tom) Mitchell of Little Rock, granddaughters, Devin (Bo) Wright of North Little Rock, Jordan and (Jesse) Harding of Hope, and three great-grandchildren, Gage Wright, Jaycee Harding, and Jaxon Harding.
Jurl was a graduate of Central Baptist College and the University of Central Arkansas and taught briefly at Vilonia High School. He was a Baptist minister for 66 years, pastoring a number of churches in Arkansas. The last 20 years prior to retirement, he directed Plain Path Ministries as a full-time evangelist preaching revivals mostly in the central states, but held many meetings in the Pacific northwest and in the northern U.S. At one point during these years he served on the board of directors of Central Baptist College. In the early 70’s he and his wife served as missionaries to Bolivia and taught in Santa Cruz at the American School for Gulf Oil corporation. Having acquired a private pilot’s license, Jurl assisted in flying supplies into remote jungle mission areas of Bolivia and later he and his family lived and worked among the Chiquitano Indians of eastern Bolivia establishing a church in the village of San Simon. Giving an account of the years in Bolivia, Jurl authored two books. “En La Manana” and “Chiquitano”. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved to travel. He and Mary Ann traveled and camped over most of the continental U.S. and canoed many of the streams in Arkansas and Missouri, his most favorite being Current river which they floated a week at a time. Another one of his favorite pastimes was four wheeling in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. In later years, Jurl and Mary Ann bicycled and continued this activity into their eighties cycling and camping all over Arkansas and Missouri
