Mildred was such a sweet, sweet lady. She was very knowledgeable in her gardening techniques and loved sharing them. She was such an amazing neighbor and friend to my mother. They shared many hours and days talking and working together in their flowers & gardens. She was such a blessing to our family. We will miss her immensely. Cindy

I knew Mildred from when I attended Science Hill Church of Christ. Such a sweet lady! I’m glad I visited her last week at the nursing home. I couldn’t believe that she remembered me!
