A granddaughter, Christina Wood; sisters, Florence Cebulski, Gertrude Marko, Irene Bock; and twin brothers, Theodore and Leonard Cebulski all preceded her in death.
Mrs. Mitts was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church. She enjoyed nothing more than spoiling her grandchildren. Her love for children was visible by her willingness to babysit for all the neighborhood children, who called her grandma. She also had a special love for dogs. The family would like to thank her granddaughter, Tammy who has been her caregiver for the last four years and also to Southern Care Hospice.
God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to
be, He closed His arms around you and whispered,
“come to Me.” In tears we saw you sinking, we
watched you fade away, our hearts were almost
broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we
saw you sleeping so peacefully, free from pain, we
would not wish you back to suffer that again. So
treasure her, Lord, in your garden of rest, for
here on earth she was one of the best.
