SUSAN E. MITCHELL — KEYSER — Susan E. (Redman) Mitchell, of Keyser, went to be with her Lord on Oct. 25, 2007, at WMHS-Memorial Campus.
Born Aug. 21, 1926, in Keyser, W.Va., she was a daughter of the late Harry Keys and Ira M. (Washington) Keys.

(Redman) Phillips; four sisters, Eurith Keys (infant), Elton Johnson, Nitra "June" Alexander and Blanche Campbell; one brother, Clarence E. Keys, a grandson, Leslie Bruce and a daughter, Kay Mitchell-Becker.
Mrs. Redman was a lifelong member of Janes United Methodist Church, Keyser, she loved her church and was always a very active member, presently serving on the Administrative Council, past chairperson of the Worship Committee, Stewardship Committee, Pastor Parish Relations Committee and past trustee. Susan had a beautiful soprano voice and used this gift as a member of the choir for many years. Her singing at Janes began as a young woman in the gospel choir under the direction of Mrs. Mary Moore.

She was a fifty-four year member of Washington-Smith Unit Auxiliary 152 and presently serving as Second Vice-president and Historian and was also a past president.
