            Mildred and GW were true soul mates and partners in all that they did. They were blessed with three children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Mildred loved to sing, especially for the Lord. She was an avid member of The Gateway Singers. She enjoyed quilting, canning vegetables, playing cards, and spending time with her family and friends.
