Sue Anne Prine

Sue Prine, passed away the morning of April 6, 2015 with the rise of the sun to bring us all light for our next journeys in life. Born November 10th of 1942, Sue was raised in beautiful Santa Monica, California by her father Dr. Cyril Mitchell and mother Florence ""Todie"" Mitchell. Surrounded by a wonderful family, two brothers - Tom and David - and one sister - Janice. At the head of this family was also her grandfather, Dr. W.S. Mortensen. Her grandfather co-founded the Santa Monica hospital in 1926 as a 60 bed, non-profit institution. It was here that much of Sue's family began their careers in medicine. Sue too had dreamed to become a nurse one day. It was instead that her son, Sierra Prine, and husband, James Prine, were blessed with the strong care and support she gave at home. Continuing throughout her life, Sue worked hard to bring new journeys to many people - not just to her family but those in need. Much of this began when Sue was nominated president of Parents Reaching Other Parents (PROP), a support group for parents of disabled children. She continued for many years as Humboldt Counties member of the Area Board 1. Sue was survived by her son Sierra, husband James ""Bibe"", mother, brother David, sister Janice and step-daughter Angela. Instead of flowers, the family asks to make any donations to CurePSP, Unlocking the Secrets of Brain Disease (http://www.psp.org). A non-profit organization that helped Sue and her family understand Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) the disease that ended Sue's life at an early age.
