I loved Mitzi always. She was funny, loving, smart and sensitive all wrapped in to one. I’m grateful that Mitzi considered me a friend. I’m blessed from things I’ve learned from her and will treasure our conversations forever. No more hurting for you, my friend. Rest with peace.
Mitzi was a blessing to all who knew her. She will always be remembered for her loving heart, sharp wit, outstanding sense of humor and the raising of her eyebrow. Mitzi was a loving daughter and granddaughter, sister and Aunt. Her family meant the world to her. So thankful that she and Cortez found each other. My condolences to Diana and the King Family.
I have no words to try to describe my feeling of loss. Mitzi was a wonderfully good person. Life will not be the same.
Mitzi my sweet peacemaker with the softest and most gentle heart one could have. You always had a beautiful smile even when days were tough. You brought such happiness to my Diana. She loved you unconditionally and things will not be the same. You always were there no matter what. Taken too soon but you were here to make a difference in many people lives at work snd personally. We will keep you in our hearts and remember you always.

I worked with Duty and Taryn county imaging hour. She was a wonderful lady to know she will be missed
My Precious Mitzi- I met Mitzi 2/12/92 and pursued/stalked her until she was my friend. She lit up a room! Her gift with words was amazing. She could always capture the moment in inspiration. My funny, funny friend. Let us embrace the joy and love we all shared with My Mitzi! Holding you to the Light!!
Sabra, I am so sorry for your loss. May God bring you and your family strength and peace in this difficult time.
Mitzi had such a kind and giving spirit. She meant the world to Diana. Theirs was a true and beautiful love. She will be missed by so many.
As we move through life, we meet people along the way who teach us many lessons. As I have thought about Mitzi over the past few months, I keep thinking about the lessons that she taught me.
Be kind–Mitzi was one of the kindest people that I have ever met. Regardless of the situation, she never had a bad thing to say and always took the time to listen… really listen. Mitzi was always there to help others and would do so without judgement.
Focus on family—Mitzi had a deep and very visible love for her family. They were always first in her life. She was always so proud to share pictures and updates, beaming the entire time.
Always smile—Mitzi had the best smile…EVER! I know that many days she probably didn’t feel like smiling, but she would do so anyway (for all of us). She was a bight light and shining star to those that she touched.
Mitzi will be missed by all…hugs to the King and Cortez families.
I’ve missed you for so long now, we saw each other so infrequently but there was always the hope you would one day be well enough to fully enjoy all that life has to offer…and now you are. You and I shared so many incredible memories together. You’re the only one I’ve ever sailed the Potomac really river together for a midnight private yacht trip, complete with roses and wine. Maybe that skipper still talks about that night. I still do. I’ll always love your pure heart, your kind soul, and that gleam in your eye as we shared so much laughter and joy. I love you, Mitzi. Be free, my Friend.
Sabra, I am heartbroken for you in hearing about the loss of your sister. My sister has been battling stage IV lymphoma since September and I know that sisters are irreplaceable in your heart and memories. May you find peace in your memories and knowing she was loved. Lindsey
