The Mitchell family, who tragically lost their 19-year-old daughter Camille to ovarian cancer in November 2023, found solace in a heartfelt tribute by her classmates during Benedict College’s 2024 graduation ceremony. Camille, a former Anatol Rodgers High School prefect captain and a Presidential Cup scholar with a perfect 4.0 GPA, had been pursuing a degree in Cyber Security. Despite her illness, she attended classes via Zoom from her hospital bed, determined to complete her education. Her untimely death came just months before she could walk the stage. Ahead of the Spring commencement, one of Camille’s friends informed the family that students planned to honor her memory by carrying her legacy across the stage. Many graduates wore funeral pins and stoles adorned with her name and photograph, creating a poignant moment for the Mitchells, who watched the ceremony via livestream. Kemel Mitchell, Camille’s brother, shared that the tribute was particularly emotional for their mother, who had been struggling to cope with reminders of her daughter’s passing at home. To help the family heal, Kemel created a shrine with Camille’s belongings, which has become a source of comfort. Camille’s classmates revealed that her determination and spirit had inspired them to persevere in their studies, with several crediting her as their motivation. Diagnosed in December 2022, Camille’s academic achievements and leadership roles, including her position as vice president of the Key Club, left a lasting impact on her community. Kemel, now studying education in the United States, reflected on how Camille’s illness influenced his youngest sister’s decision to pursue cellular and molecular biology. He emphasized that her passing has taught the family to cherish their time together and strengthened their faith. The graduation tribute, coupled with messages and photos shared by Camille’s friends, brought comfort to her mother, who had treated many of them like her own children.
