Minnie Mitchell, better known as "Bay", was born on October 2, 1936 in Scotland Neck, North Carolina to the late Cornelius and Julia Mitchell. In 1942, the Mitchell family relocated to Paterson, New Jersey. On February 4, 2012 God sent an angel to guide his beloved daughter to eternal rest. 'Bay' attended Paterson public Schools and Bordentown Manual Training School. At an early age Minnie M.

She later worked for Stern's Brothers Distribution for a short period of time, after the company converted to Macy's.
