I did not know of Mildreds passing. I worked with her at LCH many years ago as a new graduate RN. She was a dedicated nurse and taught me many things. Her faith in the lord was remarkable. May she rest in peace.

Sis. Mildred will always be remembered in my heart as a great Christian lady who was such a blessing to the church and to me personally during our pastorate at Halsey Chapel. Her care of me during my hospital stay will long be remembered. Her race has been won; heaven awaits her arrival.
My prayers are with the family.
