I had the esteemed pleasure of the true and real friendship with Mrs. Mildred F. Watts. I worked under her excellent leadership while at SCSU in Residence Life. She was a mentor and friend. She was always willing to go the extra mile for what was good for the students at SCSU. In my eyes she became my sister, my mother, and my mentor. I will be eternally grateful for God allowing our paths to cross. I know she is with our Heavenly Father. And to the family, "Thank You" for sharing Mrs. Watts with me and allowing me to connect with the entire family while at SCSU and years since. May God provide comfort to your heart, mind, and spirit as you remember the love, care, and fond memories of my dear friend and your Mother, Sister, Aunt, and Grandmother - Mildred Fields Watts. Continue to be blessed and encouraged family.
