Preceded in death by her husband, Ray Fairchild, parents, Cecil and Fannie Slayton, brother, Roger Dale Slayton, and sister, Zella Boggess. Mildred was born in West Virginia and moved to the Columbus area following high school in 1957, met and married her husband Ray, and started their family together.
