Suzanne (Sue) Sopko Mitchell died peacefully in her home in Oregon, Ohio surrounded by her children and a hospice care-giver.  She was 88 years of age. Suzanne was the seventh of thirteen children. Her parents, George Sopko and Mary Stuller, were immigrants from Slovakia. She is survived by three sisters: Cecelia (Daniel, Sr.) Kowalski, Rosalie (Arthur) Terry, and Sister Catherine Sopko, RSM, and one brother, Anthony Sopko Sr. She is also survived by three step children: Robin (Dan) Miller, Heather (Bill) Renschler, John Mitchell and five grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sisters:  Mary Oravec, Therese Baters, Veronica Sopko, Ann LeRoux, and Helen Schuh; brothers, George, Joseph and Edward Sopko. Suzanne attended Holy Rosary School for the first through eighth grades. She remembered that the family lived one mile from the school but the children walked home for lunch and back again. As a youngster, Sue recalled being sent to the bakery for bread. By the time she and her brothers and sisters reached home the heels of the bread were eaten. Her mother was not too happy, but she remembered how delicious the fresh bread was. When St. Charles Hospital opened in 1953 Sue and Dr. John Smythe Sr. transferred from Mercy Hospital and set up the radiology department. Dr. Smythe was over-all director of radiology while Sue was director of operations. She often said that counting her years at Mercy and St. Charles Hospitals she spent 45 years working with the Sisters of Mercy. Sue worked at the Birmingham Branch Library to pay her tuition for high school and college. But because of financial difficulties was force to consider other options. It was then that she went to Mercy Hospital for on-sight training as an x-ray technician. She described her career as exciting. Sue retired in 1984 as director of radiology at St. Charles Hospital. She was past president of St. Charles Junior Guild and had been a Girl Scout leader for St. Anthony Orphanage and Holy Rosary School. Sue met her husband, Bob, while she was still working at St. Charles Hospital. Their first date was dinner at the Willows. Six years later they were married. Sue had always been a career woman who was very satisfied with her life. Getting married in 1979 was a big change for Sue as well as her husband. They had a three week delayed honeymoon journeying to Scotland to see Bob's family. Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson just three years into the marriage. Forced retirement was a huge blow on top of being diagnosed with Parkinson. Sue was still working. Many adjustments took place during these years.   Family and friends may visit at the Eggleston Meinert Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel, 440 S.
