"Mitz" was raised in the Saints Peter and Paul Serbian Church in South Bend. She was always volunteering - along with her mother and siblings - for every fantastic meal served in the "Hall"! Kermit and "Mitz" had a summer home in Kissimmee, Fl. Kermit was a brick-layer by trade. "Mitz" worked at Tyler Refrigeration Co. for many years. She loved to garden, cook & bake.
