Lee Anne Mitchel (Larrabee), a resident of Santa Clara, Utah, passed away suddenly on May 4, 2023. Lee Anne was born on July 12, 1963, in Boston, Ma. to Nancy Wayte (Kelly) and William Larrabee IV.

Lee Anne was raised in Southern California and was never too far from the beach. After graduating from San Marino High School, she attended the University of California, Davis where she graduated in 1985 achieving a Bachelor of Arts in Economics.

After college, Lee Anne obtained her Legal Assistant certification from UCLA and began a brief but satisfying career as a paralegal, before she found her true calling; being a mother to her sons Patrick and Glen. The family resided in Manhattan Beach where Lee Anne could be found volunteering as team mom for the boys’ sport teams, in the classroom helping on a project, or planning a birthday party for one of the boys and their friends. Lee Anne was a dedicated and loving mother who treasured her family and embraced every moment with them. Lee Anne’s boundless energy, intelligence, enthusiasm, and smile lit up a classroom, dinner party, or a dog park run. She spent countless hours enjoying her dogs; Remington, Darth, and Gabriel.

Lee Anne loved the outdoors; She was an enthusiastic skier, enjoying many family ski trips to Mammoth, Tahoe, and Colorado. Lee Anne was also a long-time member of the Beach Club in Santa Monica and passed along her love for the sun, sand, and ocean to her boys there and by the pier in Manhattan Beach.

In 2020, she packed up and left the South Bay for St. George, Utah where she enjoyed the outdoors and beauty that God provided.

Lee Anne is survived by her two sons, Patrick and Glen Mitchel. Her sister and Brother-in-law; Mary Beth and John Leonard. Her Father and Stepmother Bill and Bonnie Larrabee; numerous nieces and nephews, and even a grandniece. Services are pending and a celebration of life has been planned on her birthday.
