Sue Anne Mitchell, born March 16, 1944. Sue Anne passed away after a courageous battle with COPD and emphysema on April 3, 2015.

She was born to Mildred and Wilfred Zelenski. After the death of her Navy pilot father, her stepfather, Frank Hall, adopted her.

The family lived in Oak Harbor, Wash., where she met Gordon Hamming and had three boys. After their divorce, Sue met and married the love of her life and best friend, Leo Mitchell, in 1968.

They loved hosting parties and barbecues for all the neighbors, family and friends.

Great stories and jokes always to be told, Sue being the brunt of Leo’s jokes at times, and later Ryan’s, she would let them have it, even though she loved it. Her sense of humor was priceless.

Sue started her career in cosmetology and later in life went to work in accounting for Boyd Gaming, in Las Vegas.

There she met her good friends Carmen and Beth. The potlucks they shared were always something she looked forward to.

Throughout their lives, Sue and Leo lived in Oak Harbor, Marysville and Everett, Wash.; Hamilton, Mont.; and finally settled in Henderson, Nev., in 1986. It was there they made many friends and shared fond memories.

Her husband, Leo; her brother, Michael; her father, Wilfred; and her stepfather, Frank, preceded Sue in death.

She is survived by her mother, Mildred (Millie); sisters Jodi and Maureen; brothers Lee and Raymond; her daughter Keva Jordan; her three sons, Greg Hamming, Mike Hamming and Troy Hamming; three stepchildren, Lea Guliuzza, Monte Mitchell and Tracy Brooks. In addition, she leaves eight beautiful grandchildren along with seven beautiful great-grandchildren. Rest in peace, Mom. We love you.

Services will be held in Washington at a later date. Family and friends can sign an online memorial guestbook at www.bouldercityfamilymortuary.com
