Mickey was a graduate of Belfry High School in Belfry, Kentucky. She worked at Watkins Printing in the bindery until her retirement.

Mickey loved the Lord, welcomed Him into her heart and soul as her Savior, and believed in His eternal salvation. She is surely at peace now in the arms of God.

Mickey loved her family deeply and her personality radiated with warmth and generosity for those she loved.
