Mrs Proust is the Ankh-Morpork witch and the mother of Derek and Jack Proust. The stones from which her powers originated are the stones within the slime under Ankh-Morpork from which previous cities were constructed. (This is similar to the flint within the chalk that gives Tiffany her powers.)
Growing up, Mrs Proust was the daughter of the city's most talented hangman and ran errands for the warders of the Tanty. She is the owner of the Boffo Joke Shop, where many of the mountain witches get their supplies, and where Derek and Jack work. She is vastly ugly, with a hooked nose and many warts and blemishes. She bases the masks she creates at the shop on her own face. It is revealed that she met her husband at a dance with terrible lighting. They were married for twenty-five years until he died.
Mrs Proust is somewhat more blatant with her use of power than Tiffany or the mountain witches, including enchanting a window so that it throws stones back at people who throw stones at it. This shows she is a very talented witch and one with different beliefs from witches such as Granny Weatherwax. Mrs Proust first appeared in I Shall Wear Midnight when Tiffany visited Boffo to get her broom fixed by the identical dwarfs who work there.
For the street called Prousts, look here. A connection with the wider Proust family cannot be ruled out; witchcraft runs in families and witches have a habit of making an impression.
