She was born in Plainview, LA on November 26, 1923 to Alvy and Oma Self Jones. She attended Plainview High School, where she enjoyed playing basketball and graduated Class of 1940. She began work as a telephone operator, later going on to meet a coworker's brother, a gentleman named William "Bill" Anthony Mitternight. They were wed on February 18, 1950.
Together they welcomed three children; Anne, Mary, and William Edward. She was a member of 12th Street Baptist Church and her hobbies included quilting, sewing and her Sunday morning TV services. Together she and Bill were members of the PT Boaters Organization, often traveling to various reunions throughout the United States. As her children grew up and left home, she gladly accepted a new title; "MaMaw" and loved spending time with her family.
She was welcomed into heaven by her husband of 46 years, her parents, her siblings, and a son in-law Johnny Miller.
Those left to cherish her memory are her children; Anne (Perry) Bullard, Mary Miller, and William Edward Mitternight; her grandchildren; Kirby (Mandy) Miller, Tony (Jennifer) Bullard and Sarah Bullard Vidrine; and her great grandchildren; Kolton & Kurry.
The family will welcome friends on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at Hixson Funeral Home of Lake Charles beginning at 9am until 11am, with graveside services to follow at Prien Memorial Park Cemetery.
