Mildred was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who loved spending time with her family and friends and loved to cook for all of them too. She always knew how to keep everyone full and satisfied. She loved hanging out in the backyard enjoying the beautiful weather doing yardwork and watching her family and friends swim in the pool, even though she did not know how to swim. Family meant everything to her. She will always be remembered for her giving heart and compassion for others. She also loved to talk on the phone keeping in touch with all her family and friends getting the scoop on what is going on. She was nosey, ha-ha. She will always be loved by her family and friends and will always be in our hearts forever.
As per Mildred’s’ wishes, no memorial services will be held.
