Mildred Brown Obituary
Mildred spent most of her life devoted to her home and family, proudly embracing her role as a homemaker. Mildred had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed cooking, grocery shopping, and tending to her vegetable garden. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her grandchildren and their friends, often welcoming neighborhood children and making sure everyone was well fed. She also enjoyed relaxing at home watching television, a pastime she truly cherished.
Mildred is survived by her devoted son, Timothy (Kimberly) Brown; her beloved grandchildren, Ethan Brown and Gillian Brown; and her dear cousins, Stephanie Hopp and Debra (Ron) Giachetti. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Mary Oshchypok; her husband, John Wonnerth; and her son, William "Billy" Soerries, Jr.
The family will welcome guests from 5:00 to 8:00 pm on Friday, January 23, 2026, at Waite Funeral Home, 3300 Center Road, Brunswick. A funeral service will take place at the funeral home at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Mildred will be laid to rest at Brooklyn Heights Cemetery.

My sincere sympathy to you Tim and family, Our mothers loved each other very much and would spend hours on the phone even after they just saw each other. I know Joan and your mom are together in heaven!!! You are an awesome son that your mom loved to brag about ( as she should). May she rest in peace.
