Mitzi Ellen Zosa, 82, passed away peacefully at her home in Bullhead City, Arizonia on July 28, 2024 with her beloved dogs, Dancer, and Rico at her side.
She was born Mary Ellen Skaggs on August 17th, 1941 in Shady Spring, WV to her parents Mary Irene Skaggs and Clarence Jackson Skaggs. The family moved to the Broadus, MT area when she was 6 years old where she attended school. She married after leaving high school and was blessed with a daughter Mitzi. She graduated beauty school in Miles City, MT and proceeded to follow her dreams of exploring the world. Mary Ellen loved her daughter's name so much for the fun and excitement it implied that she began using Mitzi as her own name as well. She spent her career working in the food, casino, and cocktail business from Washington to California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizonia. She always had many hobbies and interests such as photography, ceramics, gardening, the outdoors, the environment and always dreaming, planning, and trying to save the world.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
She is survived by her daughter Mitzi (Doug) Quam, brothers Robert (Barb) Skaggs, Denna (Marlus) Amsden, Douglas Amsden, Ted (Phoebe) Amsden, granddaughter Alesha (Adam) Huson and four great-grandchildren Stella, Trace, Charlotte, and Alice, many nephews, nieces and her two dogs Dancer and Rico.
