Typically a service pack upgrade to a sql server with mirroring in place is completed through a rolling upgarde.
1)Recommended to remove witness
2)Commit the rolling upgrade

If the mirroring session is in high performance mode - and the mirrored databases are a large geographical distance - then rolling upgarde may be tricky

I'd recommend you read through the documentation and do a test run , before attempting on a production server
