Anabel Newhouse Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 16, 2013.

Anabel B. Newhouse, of Las Vegas, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend, was born Annabelle Briones Oct. 10, 1961, in Batangas City, Philippines. She passed away Friday, Feb. 15, 2013, at 9:15 a.m., at St. Rose Siena Hospital. She honorably served 11 years in the U.S. Air Force as a administrative specialist, ending her military career in 1991 with Headquarters SAC Intelligence in Omaha, Neb. Soon after her military service, she worked at the Federal Reserve Bank in Omaha before moving to Las Vegas to be closer to family. Anabel began working as a human resource clerk, assisted in the grand opening of the Stratosphere, and working her way up as an employment director, then working as a compensation manager at South Point. She is survived by her husband, Brad Newhouse, of 30 years; children, Christopher Newhouse (28) and Kevin Newhouse (23); granddaughter, Gianna Newhouse (2); Goddaughter, Stevye Lynn; her biological parents, Ernesto Briones (deceased) and Marcelina Andal Briones (deceased); adopted parents, Michael (deceased) and Manuela Russel; siblings, Rosalie Gutierrez, Myla Balmes (deceased) Robert Russel and Gigi Frost; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Anabel will be remembered most for her immense love, support and dedication to her family and friends here in America and abroad. She struggled long and hard in combating complications with Lupus for over the last 10 years. Now she is finally at peace and is suffering no more. Friends are invited to join her family in the celebration of her life at 4 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 21, at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S. Eastern Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89123. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made in her honor to the National Kidney Foundation .

Brad,Chris, Kevin, and Gigi,

I send you all healing, comforting blessings during this difficult time. I know, through you Gigi, how very much you all loved Ana, as wife, mother, and sister. I met Ana once, at my son Chris's (Gigi's husband) AF retirement. I found her to be witty, warm, giving, and generous of heart and spirit. I'm so sorry for your loss, and know that Ana's spirit now shines its light on you from a different place.
Warmly,
Barb Leavitt

Brad, Chris, Kevin,

You are All in my thoughts and prayers. Ana was a fabulous person. She adored and loved her family; had a great sense of humor and a heart of gold and was a terrific friend.
Although she isn't with us in body, her lovely spirit lives in all the life's she touched. I feel blessed to have had Ana in my life.
Love to you All,
Sheila

Brad, Chris, & Kevin,
My deepest condolences to all of you. Anna was a wonderful person and one of my dearest friends, she was like a sister to me. She was also close and dear to my husband too - we both loved her very much. She was a true light in this world that shone so bright, but only for a short while. God called her back to be with him as one of his angels, and it is through this thought that I can be happy she is now at peace. She loved each of you with all of her heart. It's now through all of you that her light continues to shines. Rest in peace my friend.
God bless each of you,
Linda & Chris Bubel

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will forever remember Ana's smile and her laughter. She was a dear friend, neighbor and colleague all those years ago at Clark AB. She will always be young and beautiful in my memories. God bless you in this time of loss. Anabel touched all of our lives and I'm grateful I had the honor of knowing such a sweet girl.

Brad, Chris, Kevin, Gigi and Jane,

My thoughts and prayers with you all this day of memorium for Anna...

I met Anna in Korea in 1981 while we worked together in the air force there. She was the only bright light in that otherwise forgettable experience.

I am so pleased and honored that we remained friends through the years; and so happy that she met Brad and has a beautiful family with him!

Anna is a very, very special person. I never met anyone that cared so much about other people. As a small example, she sent a Christmas card every year to my mom whom she never even met! You just don't see that kind of goodness in people any more yet it characterized her entire life. She was more thoughtful and kind than anyone that I have ever met in my entire life!

And I know she was a hard worker, too, who always did more than expected -- and cheerfully!

Jane, Brad and Gigi: I am so glad I met you through Anna and hope that we remain in contact ([email protected]) as we reminisce and celebrate her beautiful life and legacy.

Jane, we had some great laughs with Anna, didn't we? She was always up for the lighter side of life and brought many smiles to everyone she met!

Anna is with the angels now and she fits right in because she already was one here on earth!

God bless you all... in deepest sympathy, love and admiration for Anna.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and to her family here in the U.S. and the Philippines. I am so happy and honored to have met such a wonderful and beautiful person inside and out. I've known Anna for almost 32 yrs since we both joined the USAF in 1981. I knew from the first day we met that our friendship will be for life time. To my best friend, R.I.P. Anna, I love you so much and will miss you! Thank you for all the good times we had together and I will cherish all those memories! Good night my dear friend...'til we meet again!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was lucky to have worked with Anna for ten years prior to moving to Utah in 2006. We opened the Stratosphere together and even went together to work for Jennifer at Coast Casinos. I loved going to work everyday and having the time with Anna and the other gals...we were family!
Chris and Kevin...we spoke of our children often and I want you to know that your mom lit up every time she spoke of you boys. She was always so proud of you! I know that being your mom was her greatest joy!
I hope you find peace and comfort during this time. Anna was an amazing woman and loyal friend. I will miss her dearly!

Brad, Chris & Kevin, I was deeply saddened to hear about your loss. Anna was such a wonderful person, she will be missed greatly. Chris & Kevin ~ Your mother was a great role model and has such an open mind about everything, I've always known you both to be strong and confident. Your mother taught you how to make your way in this world, know in your heart that her wisdom will always be there; it's a part of you.
All my love and prayers,
