Mildred retired as a financial analyst from Southern Ohio Medical Center, where she was respected for her dedication and professionalism. Beyond her career, she found joy in many hobbies. She was an avid collector, a gifted gardener, who loved tending her flowers; partial to lilies, and a talented quilter, crocheter and woodworker.
For many years, Mildred was an active member of the South Webster Fire Department Auxiliary, giving her time and energy in service to her community. Her greatest devotion, however, was to her faith. She was a life-long member of the South Webster Baptist Church, where she faithfully served as church treasurer and participated in many ministries over the years.
