Lou Ann was preceded in death by both of her parents, an older brother, Lawrence Lee Mitchell, and a nephew, Mark Douglas Mitchell.
Survivors include two younger sisters: Lora Jane Pilgrim and Linda Mae Saidler; a younger brother, Larry Allen Mitchell; four children: Thomas Lee Adams of Colorado, Teri Suzanne Adams Sharp (Theodore) of South Carolina, Amy Kathleen Finney of Washington, and Michael David Adams of Kansas; 11 grandchildren: James Henry Adams, Adam Paul Sharp, Emily Sharp Nelson (Scott), Lauren Michelle Parks (Chad), John William Adams, Dominic Antonio Ramos, Matthew Paul Sharp, Jonathan Paul Sharp, Abigail Marie Adams, Mackenzie Renee Adams (Lucas), Sebastian Alexander Frazier Finney; and five great grandchildren: Eve Marie Ramos, Lily Rose Parks, Wade Thomas Parks, Cannon James Weeks, and Hailey Rae Nelson; a niece, Leigh O'Connor (Tom) and multiple extended family members and dear friends.
