Family was the cornerstone of Mildred's life, and she cherished every moment she had with her loving family. Mildred held a special place in her heart for her grandchildren and loved each one of her grandchildren unconditionally. Mildred will forever be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. Her beautiful spirit will forever live on in the hearts of her devoted family and friends.
