She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur Alexander Brown and Cora Van Leuven Brown; husband, Daniel E. Thacke; sisters, Pearl Stout and Dorothy Lorraine Smith; and brothers, Donald, Gene and Sid Brown.
Mildred is survived by her brother, Lewis Brown of St. George, Utah; daughter, Lorna M. Hall; and son, Daniel E. Thacke, Jr., both of Las Vegas. She was born in Los Angeles, Jan. 12, 1924, but moved to the Arizona Strip with her parents when she was a child. She attended grade school in Bundyville, Ariz., and high school in Hurricane, Utah.

Mildred loved to motor coach with her husband and travel internationally with her daughter, Lorna, to see China, Australia, South America, England, Scotland and her ancestral homeland of Ireland. The family will miss her contagious optimism and words of encouragement.
