Mildred was an outstanding wife, Mom and Grandma. She loved her family and wanted the best for each one. She always cooked for a big crew and was outstanding at it. They always looked forward to her delicious pie. She loved gardening, sewing and quilting with the ladies at the church. She would raise 200 baby chicks and take care of them. She taught her daughters-in-law to cook, can and dress chickens.

Mildred’s love for the Lord was shared often with her neighbors, children and her love for the people of the church.
Mildred loved the Lord with her whole heart. She loved serving at the church; her desire for her family and friends to know her God was her greatest desire.
Memorials may be made in care of the family for future designation.
