Connetra Lachelle Mitchell, affectionately known as “Coco,” was born on August 17, 1983. She was born at Tampa General Hos- pital in Tampa, Florida. She was tiny in size, but she was born with a mighty spirit. Coco graduated from Tampa Bay Technical High School. She worked as a home health care aide while pursuing her nursing degree.
Coco liked to spend quality time with her friends and family and especially loved breaking bread with them while having a good laugh. Coco had health is- sues from the time she was a teenager, but she handled every- thing with grace and kept fighting where others would have given up.
There was something that drew her to purple. Many people associate purple to mean royalty, nobility, ambition. Purple also represents creativity, dignity, de- votion, peace, pride, and inde- pendence. These are all characteristics that Coco dis- played. Coco will be missed dearly.
