I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mildred for many years at the Miriam. She was always pleasant and competent. Nurses like her are a rare breed. Her spirit will be missed I'm sure.

Your mom was a wonderful nurse and co worker. I enjoyed working with her in the Emergency Room. She was well respected by the staff and patients and will be missed.

To the family of Mildred Healey, I met Mildred when I started a Renew Prayer Group at Blessed Sacrament. She was in my group along with Bea Burgess, Mary McQuirk, Angie Philips and Anna O"Malley. We enjoyed having our meetings at her home on Monday night. She inspired my faith and will always be in my heart and prayers. Know that we will all miss her and we are praying for all of you. Love and Prayers, Sandra Actis
