Mittie was married and raised a family and she worked tirelessly in her church nursery for more than thirty years, providing nurturing care for hundreds of babies and young children. Mittie sang with numerous choirs, quartets and ensembles. She was a strong advocate for Braille and its use in all aspects of daily life.

In honor of her life experiences, preference will be given to students who are guide dog users and who utilize Braille as part of their daily lives.
