In 1948, she found a letter in the wastebasket from a committee in Houghton, asking Homer to move his practice from Mooers, NY to Houghton. Although all of her family lived in Mooers, Mildred had fallen in love with Houghton while a student, and strongly urged her husband to move the family to Houghton. The rest of her life was spent caring for the needs of her husband, and her children. She was known as a very good cook, who never let anyone leave the table without enough to eat. She was known to often make a fourth desert, so that everyone could have a good chance of getting their favorite one.
Her favorite hobbies after cooking were: painting watercolor pictures; especially of Cape Cod, working in her flower gardens, feeding the birds, and helping in the yearly counting of birds for the Audubon Society. She was a very active member and volunteer in the Houghton Wesleyan Church.
