Theresa R. Mittner, 93, entered the gates of heaven on July 7, 2024, just shy of her 94th birthday, surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren. Born August 1, 1930, in Big Mine Run, PA, a small coal miner town, she was the daughter of the late Stanley Royac and Mary (Dudash). She was the youngest of seven children. She graduated from Butler Township High School, Fountain Springs, PA, in 1948 Known as Terry to her friends, she was a lady in the truest sense. She was a loving wife of 63 years to her late husband, George E. Mittner, whom she missed terribly. She was the mother to Denise Mittner Adkins and her husband Larry of Worthington, KY, David G. Mittner Millerstown, PA, Donald J. Mittner and his wife Aliene New Brighton, PA, and Diane Mittner-D’Addio and her husband Andre Wampum, PA. She was the grandmother to Dustin, Josh, and Desiree Adkins, Jeremy and Jay Mittner, Lauren, Andrew, his wife Jocelyn and Alexander Mittner, and Adrianna D’Addio. The great-grandmother to seven wonderful great-grandchildren, in addition, she is survived by her best friend since seventh grade, Kitty Gorman, who will truly miss her. Terry was a very supportive mother and grandmother. She rarely missed an event that her children and grandchildren participated in and was quick to volunteer and help out when needed. In 1975, she was the President of the New Brighton Band Parents. In 1980, she was the President of the New Brighton Football Mothers. After being a stay-at-home mom and raising her four children, she became a stellar salesperson at Kaufmann’s and Fashion Bug and always greeted everyone with a genuine smile. However, she was known most for her feistiness and facial expressions. Soon after, she retired to care for her grandchildren, whom she loved deeply. Terry was preceded in death by her husband, George E. Mittner; her parents, her mother-in-law, Mildred Mittner; her granddaughter, Stephanie M. Mittner; her sisters, Helen Rutkousky, Anna Yushock, and Mary Weinreich; and her brothers, Charles Medrick, Michael Medrick, and Andrew Medrick. Terry was an Our Lady of the Valley Parish church member, where she enjoyed Wednesday night Bingo for years. The family would like to thank Vitas Hospice, specifically Sara, Heather, and Pastor Don, for their generous care and her caretakers, Lisa, Donna, and Dee. Terry was truly loved by all who knew her. She never failed to make people laugh, even in her final moments. The Mittner children are at peace knowing their parents are together and dancing with the angels. Friends will be received Friday, July 12, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at J&J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 Third Ave, New Brighton, PA. Prayers will be held Saturday at 9:30 a.m. in the funeral home, followed by a Mass of Christian burial at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Valley Parish (Holy Family Church), Seventh Avenue, New Brighton.
