Mitzi was born in Springville, NY, August 19, 1948, to Will E. and Frances (Watson) Potter.

On August 30, 1969 she married Larry P. Pittman at St. Aloysius Church in Springville, NY. They have been married 53 years.  After living in Ohio for 13 years, Mitzi and Larry moved to Fenton in 1984 and joined St. John Catholic Church. Mitzi was a preschool teacher in the Linden area for many years and was known to all as "Miss Mitzi."  Mitzi enjoyed reading, working outside, music, and genealogy.  But "cruising" the US in their classic British MGA sports car as well as "cruising" the seas with their friends, Willy and Bruce Mann, created many memories. She also enjoyed spending time with her Kaffee Klatch girls. Her greatest joy was her family, raising her five children and spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband Larry; children, Mark (AnnMarie) Pittman, Lara Pittman, Evan (Janna) Pittman, Christopher Pittman, and Jessica (Martin) Smolek; six grandchildren, Noah and Ava Pittman, Lola, Potter, and Kinsey Smolek, and Daniel Pittman.

She is also survived by her brother Will (Donna) Potter and sister Laurie (Michael) Rovnak; in-laws, Brenda (Keith) Bussen, Dianne Pittman, Susan (Dan) Whelan, William (Chariza) Pittman, and Cindy Pittman; several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, mother-in-law and father-in-law, and brother-in-law.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Arbor Hospice. To celebrate her life, Mitzi has requested everyone wear red, her favorite color, to the service.
