Shawna Colleen Mitchell-Hoegh, 55, of Redmond Oregon, was ushered into the presence of her Savior on November 19, 2024. She was born in 1969 in Portland, Oregon, to Reverend Skip and Shay Mitchell.

Her magnetic personality extended beyond her family as she often became a nurturing figure to her daughter's friends, earning the affectionate title of "second mom." Even when confronting her own health challenges of 18 years, her servant's heart shone brightly, a testament to her resilience.
Shawna's love for horses, a passion that started in her youth, blossomed into a triumphant career as an accomplished equestrian. Admired for her skillful riding, she proved herself a formidable competitor, ultimately claiming world champion titles with her horse Davina. Her husband Mark lovingly supported her endeavors.
A woman of profound Faith in Jesus, Shawna rejoiced in her church community and was instrumental in guiding many to embrace their spiritual journeys alongside her and her husband Mark.
Shawna's spirit, an embodiment of unconditional love and grace, will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
Shawna's "Celebration of Life" will be held in the spring in Sisters, Oregon, to facilitate those friends in the valley needing to cross the mountain safely.
