Mildred Pfantz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Serenity Meadows Memorial Park Funeral Home & Crematory - Riverview on Sep. 6, 2025.
Mildred Baker Pfantz, age 98, passed away peacefully on Sept. 2, 2025 in Brandon, Florida.

Born in Owens Crossroads, Alabama, to Charlie and Annie Baker. Millie grew up a fiercely independent person, raising her sons and later, stepsons, proudly and efficiently as a military spouse.

Millie met Bob, the love of her life, in Nashville, Tennessee, eventually settling in Brandon, Florida, where she resided over 50 years. They spent many happy years square dancing and traveling in their latest RV throughout the country.
Millie loved challenging jigsaw puzzles, romance novels and Hallmark Channel movies.

Millie was a loyal and loving mother and MamMaw to her large family, never forgetting a birthday. Deeply faithful, she now rests in peace in the arms of her Lord.
Millie is preceded in death by her husband, Robert Pfantz, parents, and sons Gene, Jim, and William Pfantz.

She is survived by sons Gary (Jana) and Michael (Kandie) Hill; sister Martha La Farlett; grandchildren and great-grandchildren Cerise Kattell, Melissa, Nick, Brett (Jacqueline), Chris, Emery and Beau Hill; Corey (Jamie), Kyle (Mallory), Jimmy, Gage, Kellen and Kassidy Pfantz; Ryan, and Reese Kattell.

Services will be held Monday, Sept. 15th, 11am at St. Stephen Catholic Church, Riverview Florida.
Burial will occur afterward, 1:30pm, at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The American Heart Association, in memory of Mildred Pfantz.

Millie, Bob, Jim and I spent many hours together, square dancing, camping and vacationing together. We were close friends for many years. I lost my husband Jim in 2014 from dementia and in 2016 I left Florida and moved to Spokane Washington to be closer to my family. Millie and I had been in touch over the phone the past several years and I will miss talking to her once-in-a-while. I will be celebrating my 90th birthday next month and one of my daughters from Iowa is coming for a visit. I pray that we will all be together again in heaven, square dancing and going on short vacations together. We have missed our dear Bob for some time now and maybe we will all be together in the same square in heaven.
