Mildred Dodge Obituary
Mildred “Ann” Dodge, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on August 4, 2024, in O'Fallon, Missouri. She was born on March 22, 1939, in Pocahontas, Arkansas to Truman B. Looney and Vera M. Baker.
Ann dedicated her life to caring for others as a registered nurse after graduating from Barnes Hospital Nursing School. Her compassion and skills touched many lives as she selflessly gave her time and profession to inner-city medical clinics. Beyond her nursing career, Ann found joy in quilting for the Linus Project and Orphan Grain Train.
An avid quilter, gardener, watercolor painter, and calligrapher, Ann's creativity knew no bounds. Her talent and passion was evident in all of her hobbies and interests.
She is preceded by her father, Truman B. Looney, stepfather, Earl Klenn, mother, Vera M. Baker, brother, Sam Looney, sister, Vernell Gilmore, sister-in-law, Dot Looney, nephews, Robert Looney and Dan Looney.
Ann is survived by her loving husband John Dodge; children Cindy Quigley (Mike), Jeff Dodge (Stacey), David Dodge (Lydie); grandchildren Matthew Quigley, Adam Quigley, Nathan Dodge, Nicholas Dodge, Gretchen Dodge; brother Bob Looney; niece Sandra Wilson; nephew Chris Dodge; niece Susan Boeck; and a host of other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
