The sweet voice of Mildred reading "When I Am an Old Woman" at the beginning of each Red Hat Society meeting will always be my favorite memory of her. Please accept my sympathy at this temporary separation of your family. Mildred will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all of us who loved her, too.

I was saddened to learn about the loss of dear Mildred Morris. Mildred Morris was a positive and nurturing influence on many individuals and organizations during her tenure at United Way and years after. There is no way to count the thousands of lives she touched through her work and kind demeanor. Thank you, Mildred Morris for making our community a better place to live. Your bright light continues to shine in the hearts of those you touched.
