==Early Life==
Maria Mitchell was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has lived there ever since, only spending time away when she attended Drury College, located in Springfield, Missouri. Her parents owned a chain of bakeries in the Tulsa area, so she spent a good amount of her childhood helping out in the bakery. Mitchell graduated from Edison High School in 1963. She graduated with her undergraduate degree in speech and drama from Drury in 1967. Mitchell married in July of 1967 after being reacquainted with an old family friend. After three years, the two had their daughter, Missy, who was born with a rare condition leaving her legally blind. Tulsa did not have the resources at the time of Missy's birth to provide support for children with vision impairments. In 1972, Mitchell and another parent opened their own center geared toward visually impaired children, Little Light House, on October 3, 1972.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ok.gov/odc/Information/Newsletters/nl8-1.html )〕
