Sorry to hear of Mildred's passing. It was always good to visit with her at Bethel, she always had a smile and a good answer for everything. She was my Mother's whist partner at Bethel and a good friend of my husband's third grade teacher, Vangie Bell.

Mildred was in the next room to my Mom for many years.
She was a "ClassyLady"
I made a mistake to call her Millie one time and she said "I do not like to be called Millie but you can"
We always kidded her about taking her out for a ride.
We are sorry for your loss.
