Mildred Willie Waskom

MILDRED FAYE WILLIE WASKOM, AGE 90
And a resident of Franklinton passed away peacefully Wednesday night December 11, 2024 at Good Samaritan Living Center. She worked hard alongside her family on their dairy farm and devoted her life to taking care of the needs of her husband and family. They also owned and operated B&M Trucking. Millie was an excellent cook and provided three meals a day for her family and always offered food and a fresh cup of coffee to anyone visiting their home. She was a friendly person that never met a stranger and always found the good in the people she knew, as we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord. Millie loved spending time with her family and taking care of her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a longtime member of Stony Point Missionary Baptist Church that will be remembered for her kind, caring nature and the loving dedication she showed to her large family.
