Mattie was born to Wiliam Booth and Sarah Ross in Jackson County, Georgia. After marrying JL Watkins in Walton County she proceeded to move with him to Toccoa, Gwinnett County, Avondale Estates, and Social Circle as his job dictated.

After moving to Atlanta when JL retired (where she remained after his death) Mattie became a huge fan of wrestling, often attending Saturday night events in Atlanta. The Salvation Army named her Woman of the Year in 1961 for her "Christian influence and unselfish devotion to duty as manifested in the cause of the Home League."
