It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandy Sevin Mitchell, a beloved wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She passed away peacefully on 10/8/2025 at the age of 63.
Sandy was preceded in death by her parents, Joann and Edward Sevin, and her sister, Pam Sevin. She is survived by her loving husband of 31 years, Stephen Mitchell; her children, Jill Juneau (Christian), Jason Mitchell (Amber), and Kimberly VanSickel; five grandchildren, Carmen, Kylie, Skylar, Abigail, and Brannen; one great-grandchild, Liam; her sister, Debbie, Nieces Denise and Mandy, nephew Robbie, and great niece, Jade.
Born in New Orleans, LA, and raised in Marrero, Sandy graduated from L.W. Higgins High School. She married the love of her life in 1994, Stephen, and together they raised a beautiful family filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Sandy lived a life full of love, adventure, and compassion. A devoted wife to Steve, they shared a lifetime of travel and memories, exploring new places and savoring the beauty of the world together. Of all of their journeys, her favorite destination was always the beach, where she returned year after year, finding peace in the sound of the waves. Her love and compassion for animals was a defining part of who she was. She never missed an opportunity to help a furry friend in need.
